Chapter 855: Sister Ruyan has made a meritorious service
It is normal for Prime Minister Wen to ask Emperor Wu for a reward for General Xin. At times like this, someone will always come forward. There are many generals in the court.
Even if Prime Minister Wen doesn't mention it, someone will.
However, considering Prime Minister Wen's current position above the court, it seems a bit disrespectful to seek rewards for General Xin.
Of course Prime Minister Wen also knows this, but he doesn't care about it so much at the moment.
After a night of ideological struggle, Prime Minister Wen knew that if Wu Yuan was forced to abdicate the throne, then he, Prime Minister Wen, would be the leader.
Prime Minister Wen knew very clearly that Emperor Wu would no longer trust him, let alone reuse him.
Staying here will only hinder Emperor Wu's eyes. I'm afraid it won't be long before he may be charged with something, and we don't know how he died in the end.
Therefore, Prime Minister Wen had already made plans.
After Wu Yuan's matter is settled, no matter what the outcome is, he will resign and return to his hometown.
Therefore, Prime Minister Wen no longer cares about this slight offense.
Seeing that Emperor Wu had a gloomy face and remained silent, Prime Minister Wen said again: "Your Majesty, the battle at Boulder City is of vital importance to our country. General Xin's victory in this battle can be said to be a feat that enhances the prestige of our country.
If rewards are given regardless of merit, the morale of the army may be shaken."
When other ministers heard what Prime Minister Wen said, they also agreed.
They were really afraid that Emperor Wu would continue to suppress him because of his suspicion of General Xin. This would be really stupid.
Although the battle at Boulder City was crucial, it was only the first battle between Dawu and Tianli Kingdom.
Are there millions of troops from the Tianli Kingdom behind them? And this depends on Dawu's Dragon and Tiger Army fighting bloody battles to have any hope of winning.
If General Xin is still treated unfairly at this time, it will definitely shake the morale of the military.
This is no child's play, no one will target General Xin at this time.
Emperor Wu's face looked a little ugly. Of course he knew the seriousness of the problem and was not so stingy that he refused to reward him.
But if we go by the content of the victory report, the person who deserves the reward is not General Xin, but Xin Ruyan.
This made Emperor Wu feel a little frustrated. Rewarding Xin Ruyan would definitely boost the prestige of the East Palace.
When the time comes, those who support Donggong and Wu Yuan will have no guarantee that there will be no turmoil.
And he will inevitably be hindered in punishing Wu Yuan.
But if you don't reward them, as Prime Minister Wen said, it will definitely shake the morale of the army.
Naturally, Emperor Wu's expression didn't look any better. Looking at the ministers below, they all looked one-sided. Emperor Wu felt even more unhappy.
The emperor is indeed no longer as comfortable as before. Although the ministers will still listen to him and fear him, their loyalty is no longer with him.
It is hard to imagine that the emperor Wu Yuan had only done it for more than a month and had already won the hearts of his ministers.
If Wu Yuan is given more time, I am afraid that many people will rebel.
"Well, General Xin has worked hard and made great achievements. Naturally, I will not forget it. It's just that I haven't decided what reward to give to General Xin yet. I have to go back and think about it carefully before retreating from the court."
Emperor Wu actually stopped paying attention to the ministers, stood up and left.
Prime Minister Wen looked at Emperor Wu's leaving figure and felt a little relieved.
Finally having the capital to talk to Emperor Wu, Prime Minister Wen said in his heart that he was beautiful.
Prime Minister Wen ignored the ministers who wanted to come over to talk and quickly left the palace with a sullen face.
The ministers were also speechless. They now wanted to ask Prime Minister Wen about Wu Yuan's affairs, especially the ministers who hoped that Wu Yuan could stand up and hope that Prime Minister Wen could give him a clear path.
But now, even if Wen Cheng can't catch anyone, what else can he ask?
As soon as Prime Minister Wen left the palace, he went straight to Ouyang's house.
Now he must quickly convey the news about Boulder City to the people in Ouyang's house. Maybe those girls can think of a way to save Wu Yuan through this matter.
However, after arriving at Ouyang's house, when Prime Minister Wen told the news about Boulder City, there was no surprise on the faces of Murong Haitang, Xile and others.
It felt as if these people had known about Boulder City for a long time.
Mo Qiaoer even said, "I mean, Prime Minister Wen, you came here in such a hurry just to talk about this?"
"Qiaoer, don't be rude." Murong Haitang quickly stopped Mo Qiaoer.
Now that Wu Yuan's situation is over, Prime Minister Wen can be so concerned about Wu Yuan's affairs, which is worthy of their respect.
Prime Minister Wen smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "It's okay. It seems that you already know the news about Boulder City."
Prime Minister Wen can now confirm this, and he feels that Xin Ruyan must have given them the approval letter in time, so he already knew it.
But in fact, the reason why they knew about Boulder City was not because Xin Ruyan sent a message back, nor was it Wu Yuan who said it.
It was something Huo'er told Wu Yuan and Xile yesterday, and Xile told everyone about it last night.
Murong Haitang did not explain, but just said to Prime Minister Wen: "Master Wen, we still want to know what Emperor Wu's attitude is towards this matter, and please let us know."
Hearing Murong Haitang's question, Prime Minister Wen felt that his visit was not in vain.
Then he said: "Emperor Wu was very happy. Boulder City was the vanguard in defeating the Tianli Kingdom. Everyone understands the significance of this. Emperor Wu also saw it clearly. It is impossible not to reward him, but how to reward him specifically?
The emperor didn't say anything, but for some reason, Emperor Wu's face turned a little gloomy and angry when he saw the contents of the victory report."
After hearing what Prime Minister Wen said, Murong Haitang and Ouyang Shishi also looked at each other.
At this time, Yan Miao said, "Could it be that Emperor Wu didn't want the Boulder City side to win the battle?"
"This is impossible, no matter what, he is still the emperor of Dawu." Prime Minister Wen reminded carefully, but he didn't dare to go out and say this nonsense.
Yan Fei also analyzed rationally at this time: "I got angry when I saw the good news. This shows that the content above is against Emperor Wu's wishes."
Murong Haitang nodded, "If you think about it this way, the contents of the victory report are nothing more than the battle details and the generals who made meritorious services."
At the end, everyone's eyes lit up. Murong Haitang, Ouyang Shishi and Yan Fei exclaimed in unison: "It was Sister Ruyan who made the meritorious service."
Prime Minister Wen on the side looked at the women in front of him with dumbfounded eyes, and his heart was filled with turmoil.
He just said that one sentence and described Emperor Wu's expression when he read the victory report. As a result, he could guess these things.
This made Prime Minister Wen couldn't help but lament that although there were not many women in the East Palace, there was no one who was easy to mess with.
