Chapter 750: Zhao Shen promises and asks for marriage
In the past few days, there have been no major events in the court meeting. Regarding Shen Tang's reward, it may not be possible to discuss the result in a short period of time. However, Shen Tang does not care.
However, many local tribal leaders in Chengdu Prefecture came to pay homage to Zhao Shen, which made Zhao Shen happy again.
These local tribes have never valued the imperial court, and they are even less willing to treat the local officials favorably.
Even like the Qiang people in the past, it was not uncommon to directly occupy the land of a state and even the local chief official was directly dismissed.
However, this time, the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty led by Shen Tang not only surprised them, but also made them frightened! Under Shen Tang's order, Dawa Tata and Shao Hongyuan did not leave any hand for these local tribes. The tribes that were hostile to the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty were directly exterminated. Otherwise, these tribes would not be so obedient.
When meeting the tribal chiefs, Zhao Shen did not allow any civil or military officials to accompany him, but instead summoned Shen Tang into the palace.
Afterwards, these tribal chiefs respectfully presented gifts, admitted their previous mistakes to Zhao Shen, and were reprimanded by Zhao Shen, so the matter was considered to be over.
After all, there are dozens of tribes, large and small, in Chengdu Prefecture, and they cannot all be wiped out directly.
Moreover, in Zhao Shen's mind, if Shen Tang were to take charge of Chengdu in the future, he would not be afraid of what these local tribes might think.
After all the clan leaders had retreated, Zhao Shen pulled Shen Tang to sit down across from him with some satisfaction.
"Shen Tang, thanks to you, otherwise, we wouldn't know what Chengdu Mansion looks like now!"
Zhao Shen said with emotion that he was extremely satisfied with this battle in Chengdu! Victory was one of them, and Shen Tang also did it perfectly. Not only did he have some Tibetan surrender troops travel thousands of miles away to accept the surrender in person, These local tribes also came to visit Lin'an obediently, which made Zhao Shen feel extremely happy!
The subjects were in awe and the kingdoms surrendered, allowing Zhao Shen to experience the rare pleasure of being an emperor of a powerful country.
"Your Majesty, this is what I should do!"
Zhao Shen laughed and patted Shen Tang on the shoulder, and then said, "Shen Tang, other rewards will have to wait, but you don't need to worry, you fight for me, I will not treat you badly! Other than that, you don't need to worry. Besides, what else do you want?
Feel free to bring it up!”
Shen Tang hesitated for a moment, then stood up and prostrated, and said respectfully, "Other rewards can be given naturally. Your Majesty does not need to worry about it! As long as he can serve the Song Dynasty in the court, Shen Tang will be satisfied.
However, there is something I would like to ask your Majesty..."
"tell me the story?"
Zhao Shen asked with interest.
In Zhao Shen's impression, although Shen Tang had made meritorious service several times, he had never asked for anything from him.
"Your Majesty, I fall in love with Shao Muyu, the daughter of the Shao family in Jiangnan. Therefore, I hope that your Majesty can grant me a marriage! I am very grateful!"
Zhao Shen said respectfully.
He had been married to Liu Xiangling for a long time, and his marriage to Wanyan Yue was witnessed by the emperors of the two countries.
Only Shao Muyu, the two have known each other for a long time, and they have experienced life and death. If it drags on any longer, it will be his own fault.
As for asking Zhao Shen for marriage, Shen Tang had also thought about it.
Liu Xiangling is the eldest wife of the Shen family. No one can deny this, and no one dares to be disrespectful. Wanyan Yue is the princess of the Jin Kingdom. No matter in terms of status or status, ordinary people cannot compare with her.
Only Shao Muyu!
Although the Shao family in Jiangnan is said to be the richest in Jiangnan, after all, it is just a family of merchants. If it is an ordinary marriage, I may not care about it in the future, and even my family members will not care too much, but the appearance of outsiders is indispensable.
And if Zhao Shen grants marriage, then there will be no such problems.
Speaking of which, the three ladies of Shen Tang are a bit weird.
The so-called three wives and four concubines, but after all, they are divided into high and low.
However, because of Liu Xiangling's status and Shen Tang's attitude, the three daughters of the Shen family were treated equally.
"Hahaha……"
Zhao Shen burst out laughing when he heard this, "My fair lady, a gentleman demands it! Yes, this is a happy event, and I agreed! Moreover, I later sent a message to the Shao family in Jiangnan, asking them to prepare immediately.
This time in the battle of Chengdu Prefecture, the Shao family also contributed a lot. Although it is a family of merchants, it is also a loyal and good person. When you get married, I will go there in person to witness your marriage."
"My lord, thank you so much, Your Majesty!"
Shen Tang happily agreed.
"I know that you have been away from home for a long time. However, the affairs in the court have not yet been finalized recently, and those Tubo barbarians are still in Lin'an, so you need to stay for a few more days until the matter is over before you go back to accompany your beloved wife!"
Zhao Shen said with a bit of teasing.
Speaking of the Tubo mission, Shen Tang originally only gave them three days. However, how could Lu Dongzan and others dare to make a decision based on the conditions Shen Tang proposed?
Therefore, Lu Dongzan proposed that he should send people back to Tubo and ask for a meeting with Zanpu before making a decision.
Shen Tang did not continue to persecute, but agreed.
Therefore, except for two of the Tibetan envoys who have been ordered to return recently, the others are still in the posthouse.
With the personal "protection" of Shen Tang's soldiers, these Tubo people did not cause any more trouble.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty! I will not disappoint Your Majesty!"
Shen Tang said respectfully.
"Um!"
Zhao Shen nodded, "Leave it to you, I will feel relieved.
However, your reward needs to be decided as soon as possible. If you are not in charge of Chengdu Mansion, I will really feel a little worried!"
"You are taking advantage of this rare free day to get married first! Because of the war in Chengdu, you have delayed this matter for a long time. If you delay it any longer, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate.
After the wedding is over, other things will be finalized, so you can go to Chengdu Mansion."
"My lord, I obey the order!"
Zhao Shen wanted Shen Tang to go to Chengdu Mansion to take charge, and Shen Tang naturally had no objection! If he could manage the journey, Emperor Shan Gao would be one of them, and he could also consolidate his own foundation, which would naturally have many benefits for the future...
Zhao Shen did as he said. As soon as Shen Tang left the palace, Zhao Shen directly called Wang Quan over and ordered him to draft an edict to be sent to Lianli City and the Shao family in Taihu!
Everything in Lianli City is stable, especially since it is not managed by the government but by Shen Mansion, which is in charge of the affairs of the city. Therefore, both the people in the city and the merchants who trade have high recognition of Lianli City.
After all, although Lianli City has a lot of rules, as long as you act according to the rules, you can get a lot of conveniences and get protection from the Shen Mansion.
Such a fair place is naturally infinitely attractive to merchants.
Therefore, in recent times, the transactions in Lianli City have become increasingly numerous, and even some merchants from far away are willing to travel thousands of miles to this trading place.
