Chapter 486: Those who deserve to be rewarded must be rewarded
The emperor's team back to Geling was so large that after the front team had walked for half a day, the tail of the team was still in Yunzhou City.
The emperor's chariot was in the middle of the procession and was guarded by the imperial army. The people waiting on the roadside to see what the emperor looked like could not even see clearly the emperor's chariot.
Lin Ye's carriage was about a few feet away from the Emperor's carriage, with a carriage in the middle. In that carriage was his aunt.
Now that Tuoba Yunxi has returned to the imperial surname, she may still be a little uncomfortable with it.
However, Zinai felt that Xie Yunxi sounded better than Tuoba Yunxi.
She said her aunt's surname was Xie, and her surname was also Xie, so she sounded like a real aunt.
Lin Ye smiled bitterly in his heart, saying to himself, "Silly boy, how can that look like that? Isn't that what it is..."
Regarding Zinai's mother's status in the royal family, only Mu Liuhuo actually knows.
But Mu Liuhuo died in the battle in Dongbo, and Lin Ye actually forgot to ask what kind of princess she was.
The emperor has no daughters, and his sister is Aunt Lin Ye.
Moreover, it was never heard that the emperor had a younger sister, so Xiao Zinai's mother should be the former princess.
The emperor's father inherited the throne because their lineage was thin, had no foundation, and had no strength at all.
When the old emperor ascended the throne, he was even older than the emperor who suddenly died of illness.
Therefore, it is very possible that Zinai's mother is the daughter of Emperor Dayu of the previous generation.
After all, Zinai's mother is the same generation as the emperor's father, so...
In terms of seniority, Zinai is actually the emperor's sister. She should not call Xie Yunxi aunt, but elder sister.
When Lin Ye thought of this, he had a headache.
Dayu has been a country for so many years. In fact, no one can say how much blood relationship the declining royal family has with the orthodox royal family.
Although there must be records in the royal family's genealogy, it is estimated that the emperor's lineage has only been briefly recorded.
If someone from the Tiandang Emperor family had not inherited the throne by chance, their family would have been in such a state of poverty that their life would not be as good as that of ordinary people.
It has been two hundred years since the founding of Dayu. Over the past two hundred years, generations have reproduced, and the population of the royal family has increased.
When those powerful ministers brought the emperor's father back to Geling, they did so under the guise of checking their ancestors and found that the ancestor of the emperor's lineage was the third son of Emperor Dayu Taizu.
The third son of the emperor was awarded the title of prince at that time. He gave birth to six sons, and only the eldest son inherited the title of prince.
Of the other five sons, two were granted the title of county prince, and the remaining three were not even given the title of prince. The two princes who were granted the title were not hereditary.
These six sons had a total of nineteen heirs, among whom the eldest son and eldest grandson inherited the hereditary title of prince.
Of these nineteen people, none of the remaining eighteen were awarded the honorary title.
It was passed down from generation to generation in this way. When the emperor's father arrived, because he was a royal, he could not farm, let alone do business. It was impossible for such a sideline person to really get the salary and silver allocated every year.
Even if he could get it, how much would the emperor's father get if it were further broken down according to distance, proximity, title, and rank?
After more than two hundred years, it would be an exaggeration to say that the emperor and Zina are not actually related by blood.
Lin Ye was counting this matter with his fingers, and Zinai was worried about whether her aunt would get more red envelopes than her brother during the Chinese New Year.
If it was really more, then she decided to give her brother her share.
Lin Ye was making calculations. If he was really correct, then Zinai would not be his sister, but her aunt.
Thinking of this, Lin Ye's look at Zina became weird.
In fact, Lin Ye's calculation was not very wrong. The emperor's lineage and Zinai's lineage were indeed not that close.
Moreover, Zinai's mother was the daughter of the emperor at that time, or maybe her sister, so Zinai might also be her aunt's aunt...
At that time, the emperor suddenly died and someone from another lineage succeeded to the throne.
Then the previous royal family will inevitably be closely monitored.
This can also explain why the people in Yulingwei always stare at Zinai's mother.
Then Lin Ye thought again...who was the person who saved Zinai back then?
Zinai's memory always remembers her mother's face.
If she was frightened at that time, and she was really young, huddled in a firewood pile, the face she saw in the end was most likely not her mother, but the person who saved her.
Based on this calculation, the person who saved Zina was also a woman.
Lin Ye calculated the time again. Even if he could figure it out, he still had no clue.
Because there were no clues at all, maybe a passing heroine happened to see it and saved Zina casually.
If it was an acquaintance, a friend of Zinai's parents, it would be impossible to leave Zinai alone, and they should take her away and raise her.
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. Lin Ye shook his head and forced himself not to think about it for the time being.
At the same time, in front, the emperor's car was driving.
Ning Weimo sat there and looked at the emperor cautiously. He felt that his majesty must have bad intentions.
Previously, the emperor revealed intentionally or unintentionally that he would set up the official position of governor in Yunzhou, and this official position could still suppress Lin Ye.
If Your Majesty had any good intentions, he would not do this.
One of the ways to do this is to allow the organization that secretly wants to control the country to take action again.
How important the position of the governor of Yunzhou is, one can see it personally.
So the emperor wanted to see who those people would recommend to him.
Secondly, the emperor wanted to suppress the military power in Northern Xinjiang. After all, Tuoba Lie's power was indeed ridiculously great.
If there were no Tuoba Lie, Lin Ye, as a general of the cowardly army and a third-rank official, would actually be very reasonable under the control of the feudal officials.
Precisely because Tuoba Lie was in front of him, Lin Ye was also a general and was overpowered. Especially since he didn't know who he would be overpowered by, this inevitably made people feel a little uncomfortable.
Ning Weimo thought that if he were Lin Ye anyway, he would be unbearable.
But Lin Ye was different. Ning Weimo had been testing Lin Ye more or less in the past few days.
I found that guy had no idea about His Majesty's arrangement.
But Ning Weimo thought about it again. Lin Ye was only seventeen years old now and was already a third-level general. He couldn't be promoted in such a hurry.
If His Majesty really considers abdicating, then of course a talent like Lin Ye will leave a certain amount of room for promotion for the new monarch to use when the time comes.
While he was thinking about this, the emperor suddenly asked: "I think many people have been looking for you recently."
Ning Weimo quickly replied: "Your Majesty, yes, there are indeed many. I heard that Your Majesty is going to set up the post of governor in Yunzhou. Many people are curious and want me to speak for them."
The emperor asked: "Did you take advantage of others?"
Ning Weimo replied: "Take it."
The emperor looked at Ning Weimo: "You are really magnanimous."
Ning Weimo said: "I have packed up all the benefits I took and brought them back to Geling. I know that after arriving at Geling, Your Majesty will definitely reward the meritorious ministers. These benefits I took,
That way we can share some of the expenses for His Majesty."
The emperor said: "Where are those things in the car now?"
Ning Weimo replied: "They are all here, a lot of the same."
The emperor asked: "Lin Ye didn't ask you to beat the autumn wind?"
Ning Weimo replied: "I didn't come, but maybe it's because I haven't had time yet, or maybe the general feels embarrassed to speak."
He looked at the emperor and said: "After all, when others want to be governors of the state, they all come to give gifts to me. The general doesn't give anything and takes it back. I think he may feel sorry for his face."
The emperor smiled and said: "He himself knows that he can't get the position of governor, so of course he won't give it to you."
Ning Weimo said: "If he can't sit on it, he won't give it to me... If he wants to sit on it, he will get more."
The emperor laughed.
He looked at Ning Weimo and ordered: "Divide your things into ten parts. Keep one part for yourself, send one part to me, and give the rest to the treasury."
Ning Weimo: "Your Majesty... I want it too."
The Emperor said: "I ask you, who has the greatest credit for suppressing the rebellion in Yunzhou, destroying Lone Bamboo, and fixing Dongbo this time."
Ning Weimo: "It's Your Majesty."
The Emperor said: "Since I have the greatest merit, why can't I take it? If I can't take it, I can't take the things that are awarded to other meritorious officials from the treasury. Can't I take your things that haven't been put into the treasury?
Do you want me to directly give myself a reward in front of all the civil and military officials?"
Devour
Ning Weimo: "That's definitely not possible. I think your Majesty should take it, and even take less. I think your Majesty must keep at least two copies."
The emperor nodded: "Then let's keep two copies. It's time for me to save money for my private life."
Ning Weimo: "Uh..."
The emperor said: "Your share should be handed over to me first."
Ning Weimo suddenly became determined: "Your Majesty, this can be regarded as your contribution. I have contributed a lot to the national treasury, and I deserve this share."
Emperor: "Do you want to take it or not?"
Ning Weimo: "I will risk my life and refuse to obey."
Emperor: "Do you think I want to cheat you out of your share? Then you really look down on me. No matter how much I want to save my own money, I will not be so unscrupulous and dishonorable. I took your share.
I still have to give it to you."
Ning Weimo: "I will not believe it even if I die."
The emperor said: "Since you don't believe it so much, then I will definitely give you this share in front of all the civil and military officials."
Ning Weimo: "Your Majesty, are you serious?"
The emperor said: "You have no joke."
Ning Weimo: "If your Majesty really gives this share to me in front of the civil and military officials of the court, I will naturally believe it... Huh?"
He was suddenly stunned when he said this.
Then he looked up at the Emperor, with an expression on his face that said, "No, no, no, no, no, this can't be like this."
He asked: "Your Majesty, could it be that you want to get some benefits from me, and then treat this as a reward when you discuss merits and rewards?"
Emperor: "Why do you need to use the three words Mobu? Of these three words, the first two words are of no use at all."
Ning Weimo was anxious: "I will donate some silver myself, and then your majesty will return it to me as a reward?"
The Emperor said: "I have said that I will not be greedy for your scattered silver. I still have my dignity."
Ning Weimo said in his heart that Your Majesty, you are really decent. Your Majesty, you are the most decent person in the world. No, no, no, Your Majesty, you are the most decent person in the world for thousands of years.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the emperor saying to himself: "Lin Ye should also be rewarded more generously, but he should not be allowed to gossip, so what comes out of the treasury should not be too different from others."
Ning Weimo: "I resigned first, but I suddenly remembered..."
The emperor looked at him and he sat down obediently again.
