The envoy recited in the hall: "The story of the country, ministers in power, ministers who have made meritorious deeds have not done great service to the country, and they will not be given land and houses lightly. Therefore, generals and ministers who have made great achievements and great deeds can be rewarded with extraordinary rewards, and they can also be given first-class titles."
…Give him a house in the capital, a Taoist village, and a place to fill his career forever.”
Speaking of this, the envoy quickly lifted up Zhang Shi who was paying homage and said with a smile: "Zhang Longtu has accomplished such unparalleled achievements at the border, so the emperor rewarded him with the first rank. This is an exceptional gift from the Prime Minister!"
"
Zhang Shi lived in the capital for a while and knew how difficult it was to live in Bianjing. When Zhang Yue bought a house in the outer city, he spent 3,500 guan.
What's more, it was a house in Xingdaofang. When Han Qi resigned as prime minister, the official family gave him a house in Xingdaofang.
Zhang Shi was very frightened not knowing the price, but still accepted the imperial edict. Qi Niang knew that it was a five-entry mansion in Rendaofang.
A few years ago, the royal family purchased 75,000 guan from the private sector, intending to use it as a wedding gift for the princess or as a gift from the clan.
Nowadays, the house price in Bianjing is one price per day, and the price of this house is even more than that.
Moreover, the title will be lent to you to live in and it will actually give you property rights.
Lending it to a minister means that after he leaves the capital or the other party dies of illness, the imperial court can take back the house, but the imperial edict says that it will always be used as one's own property, which means that this house will be given to you to live in in the future.
This is the reward given by the emperor to Zhang Yue for capturing Mu Zheng and Gui Zhang alive.
The Seventeenth Mother hurriedly ordered people to give benefits to the envoy. The envoy was even more happy and said: "Zhang Longtu captured Gui Zhang alive. After Mu Zheng, the official family was very happy. Not only the official family, but also the empress dowager and the empress dowager."
Like."
"Actually, with the Holy Scroll of Zhang Long Tu on my body, this title will be given to me sooner or later. Our family is just taking this opportunity to get some glory."
Zhang Shi and Yu were all happy when they heard this. They thought that they were worthy of being from the palace and that they could talk.
"Thank you, your Majesty, I have learned a lesson!"
The Seventeenth Mother bowed humbly, and everyone on the side also thanked her. The envoy thought that she was the daughter of the prime minister, and her husband had just made great contributions to the country, but he was so humble and polite. It seems that Zhang Longtu's future is limitless, and we can get it.
Make good friends.
The envoy stood up and said, "You're welcome, madam. We will have many more dealings to do in the future."
Everyone laughed.
The envoy wanted to get up and leave, but the Seventeenth Mother left him to drink tea before leaving.
Zhang Shi was discussing the new house given by the emperor. In fact, the house next to the Imperial Academy was very small and was not suitable for so many people in Zhang's house. Moreover, the water here was not sweet enough.
Now that we can live in Rendaofang in the inner city, this makes everyone in the Zhang family very happy.
Not only them, but also the servants of the Zhang family were very happy and felt proud.
At this time, Lu suddenly said: "When Taizu released his military power over a cup of wine, he asked generals such as Shi Shouxin to hand over their military power, and then buy more fertile land and beautiful houses, and buy more singers."
"Now that the emperor has given Jia Di, does he also have this intention?"
Mr. Zhang Shi and Yu's expression changed when they heard this. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for their daughter-in-law to say this now? However, the two of them loved their daughter-in-law very much, so they did not point it out to her face.
But Yu said tactfully: "I think we just won the battle, so I'm afraid the officials won't have this intention."
Lu said: "Mother is right."
When the Seventeenth Mother heard this, she smiled. When the envoy came in to confer the title, she had vaguely thought about it, but she didn't say it out loud.
Although Seventeen Niang and Mrs. Lu have a grudge in their hearts, we are still a family now and there will be no ill intentions. And what she said makes sense. There is nothing wrong with being prepared for danger in times of peace. The more proud you are, if someone gives you
Throwing cold water on it is actually not a bad thing.
In fact, after listening to Lu's words, Zhang Shiyu was indeed a little worried in his heart.
Just as another envoy arrived outside the door.
But I saw an eunuch carrying large and small boxes of things into the house.
The Zhang family's small courtyard was filled with objects.
But when he saw the envoy, he said: "Your Majesty has given the Zhang Mansion two thousand pieces of silver, two thousand pieces of silk and two thousand pieces of silk, two thousand pieces of colorful flowers, royal gold and silver utensils, one hundred brocade tents and mattresses, and five hundred branches of flowers...
"The Empress Dowager gave me a gold-plated and silver-plated gauze bowl, a soup vase, a Taiping flower belt, and a black lacquer table..."
"The Empress Dowager gave a hundred gold hairpins and silver ornaments..."
A series of rewards continued, but when the attendants continued to carry the utensils, many people had gathered in front of Zhang's house to watch the excitement. An idle man was jealous when he saw it. He pinched the fleas and said to himself.
He said to himself: "What kind of sense organs get so many rewards? Isn't it good for the officials to give us people a living?"
Someone on the sidelines said: "This is Zhang Longtu's house. They captured two Tibetan chiefs, Mu Zheng and Gui Zhang alive. This is comparable to Xu Maogong's feat of capturing Jie Li alive."
Xian Han said: "I don't know anything about Xu Maogong or Jie Li! But I've heard of Guizhang and Mu Zheng. They were the two Tibetan chiefs who made a big fuss a few days ago, right? How come they were defeated?"
"That's not it!" The man gave a thumbs up and said, "This is what Zhang Longtu did! Now that the world has been at peace for a long time, Zhang Longtu will not be King Cao Wuhui (Cao Bin) until the founding of the People's Republic of China."
After hearing this, the idle Han household said: "It's incredible, it's incredible, it's disrespectful."
…
The rewards from the Emperor and the Queen Mothers of the two palaces have already made it impossible for the Zhang family's small storehouse to be filled.
Zhang Shi and Yu were both happy and ashamed.
The envoy smiled and said: "Don't worry, you two. We have served the Empress Dowager for so many years, and we have never seen her think so highly of any minister. A few days ago, she also praised Zhang Long Tuyan for not only being a god in his military skills, but also like King Cao Wuhui.
"
"The Empress Dowager personally said that Zhang Long Tu was not indiscriminate in his efforts to bring peace to the Qing Dynasty. He was like King Wu Hui. He was strict in running the army, like King Wu Hui. He was humble and respectful, just like King Wu Hui."
Zhang Shi's family was all happy to hear this. Cao Bin was Empress Dowager Cao's grandfather. She could compare it like this, which shows how much she valued Zhang Yue.
"Of course, the most important thing is to be like King Wu Hui, and the relationship between the king and his ministers is the same. This is the way to avoid falling into the family!"
Everyone was in awe after hearing this. After so many things said before, this sentence is the most important.
Empress Dowager Cao has experienced many storms and personnel changes in the court. Since ancient times, it has not been difficult for the monarch and his ministers to be in harmony with each other. The most difficult thing is to always maintain the relationship between the monarch and his ministers.
As a founding hero, Cao Bin could still serve the three generations of emperors Taizu, Taizong and Zhenzong.
Zhang Yue defeated the Qing Tang Dynasty this time. He never killed indiscriminately, was able to run the army strictly, and was an honest official. This was what everyone praised Cao Bin back then.
But why can Cao Bin always act as a ruler and minister? We can learn from what Emperor Taizu once said: Cao Bin never deceived his master.
Seventeenth Mother said: "Thank you, the Empress Dowager, for your kind words."
This is a good intention and a reminder.
This is when another person came in and said: "It's almost full."
The envoy said: "Just put these here first, and send the rest of the furniture to Zhang's new house. It's spacious enough to put them there."
"It's time to work."
Seeing so much gold and silver jewelry being delivered to Zhang's house, Zhang Shi Yu's worries were gone and she no longer knew where to put them.
Everyone's faces were beaming with joy, and the servants of the Zhang Mansion were all happy and came together to congratulate Zhang Shi and the others.
Mother Chen said to Seventeenth Niang with a happy look on her face: "Sister-in-law, even if you don't put any furniture, there is still no room for so many silver silks!"
Seventeenth Mother also smiled at the joy of Mother Chen and the others and said: "The silk cloth is kept in the merchant's warehouse. We always have it in our workshop. We will move it to the new house in a few days."
A female envoy outside the door said: "The third lady, the fifteenth lady is here."
The Seventeenth Mother smiled and went out. The Fifteenth Mother walked up to the Seventeenth Mother with a smile, looked at the utensils in the yard and sighed: "My sister is really rich."
"Sister, if this is where you are, haven't you been rich in the past?"
The fifteenth mother smiled and said: "It used to be rich and noble, but now it has reached a higher level. Now all the official ladies in Bianjing know that you have to be awarded the first rank, and they have also rewarded so many silver silk jewels, each one
They are all extremely envious."
Seventeenth Mother smiled and said: "It's good for you, this time your husband is guarding the isolated city of Hezhou, and the officials and the family are fair to Wen Xiang. Your Wen family has been loyal and loyal for generations."
The fifteenth mother smiled and said: "What do you call your husband? He is your brother-in-law."
The fifteenth and seventeenth mothers all laughed.
The fifteenth mother was still a little bit strange at the seventeenth mother for not writing to Zhang Yue to send troops to rescue Wen Jifu.
But now that Wen Jifu is out of trouble, she is also a very knowledgeable woman. Of course she understands Seventeenth Mother's considerations, but her concern at the beginning led to chaos. Now the two sisters are reconciled as before.
Now the fifteenth mother looks at the seventeenth mother's rewards in the courtyard, and she is no longer so jealous in her heart.
If Zhang Yue can always support Wen Jifu, then it will only be good for the couple and not bad for his sister to be richer.
The fifteenth mother held the seventeenth mother's hand and said: "When our two sisters Yunying were not married, my mother once said that although Liu Langjun of the Wen family was a son of the prime minister, there were many children in the Wen family, so he was not the favored one.
Children like this usually don't have the habit of being a playboy. She met Liu Lang and thought he was calm and capable. When I marry him one day, I don't ask for much wealth, I just want to be able to raise eyebrows."
"Then it was your turn. Before Zhang Sanlang won the first prize, she said that although you were marrying low in terms of family status, a woman would look to her mother's family for the first half of her life and her husband's family for the second half of her life. She and her father had known each other.
, in this chapter, Mr. Sanlang has brocade in his chest and a universe in his belly. In troubled times, he will be a famous general, and in times of trouble, he will be a prime minister. In the future, as high as he is, you will be as high as you are."
Speaking of this, the fifteenth mother looked a little sad and said: "We sisters all heard it as a joke at the time, but now we know how our parents look at people when choosing a son-in-law."
The Seventeenth Mother was also moved after hearing this.
Parents are also worried about their children's marriage.
It was so easy to finish moving the rewards.
At this time the third lieutenant arrived again.
As soon as the other party arrived, they congratulated Zhang Shi and others. They thought this was the reward that had arrived again?
But I saw the other party spreading out the edict and saying it solemnly.
Under the door:
It is the duty of the general to be strict with the law to show his power; to sit down and discuss the king's body, he must be a minister of the Langmiao. But the two handles are both right and wrong, which is the first choice for the moment... With the official seal, the whole section is used to serve the king.
, there is no end to the appointment at home and abroad, so he was promoted to commander-in-chief, led his troops to attack the criminals, captured the ghost medal, won the wood expedition, and returned the homeland of Helong to the Han Dynasty...
... He was specially promoted to Zuo Jianyi, a scholar directly from the privy council, and a Marquis of the founding of Hejian County. He was granted the title of 1,000 households, and 500 households were enfeoffed. The official and honorary titles remained as before, and were implemented by the master.
