Chapter 524
"Okay, I hope your Shanyu can remember what you said today. As for the act of discussing relatives, I will choose a talented and excellent person for the Tatar princess among all the princesses, and I will definitely not suffer the Princess of Lingguo."
Since we have decided to negotiate peace, we will naturally choose a person to marry the princess whom the Tatars married far away. However, Zhu Di has not yet confirmed the candidate, "Okay, lord of envoy, please go back and have a good rest. In the past few days, I will take a good look in my capital and take a look. After a few days, I will personally select the prince-consort. I will summon the envoy again. How about you?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The envoy knew that it was time for him to leave. After answering Zhu Di's words, he stood up and walked out of the hall.
Until he watched the envoy disappear outside the hall, Zhu Di turned his gaze back to Zhu Gaoxu, "King of Han."
"My son is here." Zhu Gaoxu knew that at this time, Zhu Di should be rewarded according to his merits, so he walked out with a smile on his face.
Zhu Di pondered for a moment. Zhu Gaoxu was already the King of Han, and there was no shortage of wealth and glory. For a moment, Zhu Di didn't know what to reward him, so he had to throw this question back to Zhu Gaoxu. "King of Han, you have made great contributions this time. Tell me what you want." Zhu Di also wanted to take this opportunity to see how Zhu Gaoxu would answer. He looked at Zhu Gaoxu's reaction with a smile on his face.
Zhu Gaoxu couldn't give Zhu Di what he wanted, so he simply didn't want anything else. Instead, he glanced at Xiong Wanli and Fang Mingyun behind him, "The father doesn't know anything. Although the son minister was a general who was a Northwest Expedition this time, he did very limited things, and all the credits were made by others."
"Oh? I don't know who the King of Han is talking about?" Unexpectedly, the King of Han, who has always been arrogant, would become humble at this time. This made Zhu Di stunned for a moment, but soon this surprise turned into joy. The King of Han Zhu Gaoxu was able to understand humility, which itself was a kind of growth. Whether as the emperor or as Zhu Gaoxu's father, this was what Zhu Di was most happy to see.
"Father, this time the fight against Tatars, Xiong Wanli, the commander of Ganzhou City, made an indelible contribution. He led an enemy that was several times more than the enemy, but he was able to defend the city. If he had not been betrayed by a traitor in the end, the city of Ganzhou would not have been destroyed. However, General Xiong, who had led dozens of soldiers in the city to resist bravely, created an opportunity for our army to break the city. Later, General Xiong volunteered to chase Tuogu Yier, and could not help but break through Suzhou and Liangzhou.
It was really important to kill Tatar general Dugu Ying with no way to go. Zhu Gaoxu was determined to take Xiong Wanli for his own use. This was a good time to attract people's hearts. "Secondly, Fang Mingyun, the envoy of the Jinyiwei Huangqin, led his troops to ambush around Shacheng. Taking advantage of Tuogu Yier's unpreparedness, he captured the general's mansion. Tuogu Yier and the rebel general Qiu Tianfang both died at the hands of General Fang. Fang Mingyun made great contributions in this battle."
When Zhu Di followed Zhu Gaoxu's speech, his eyes swept over Xiong Wanli and Fang Mingyun, "Okay, well said, Xiong Wanli, Fang Mingyun came forward to listen to the seal!"
"Your Majesty!" After the two of them were simply stunned, they quickly stepped forward, with a serious expression ready to listen to the seal.
"Today I heard that Fang Mingyun is brave and scheming, I specially appointed the Huangqi envoy of the Jinyiwei Guard - Fang Mingyun was the General of the Cavalry in the Imperial Front, and rewarded 10,000 taels of gold; Xiong Wanli made contributions to guarding Ganzhou City, and today I specially appointed Xiong Wanli as the Fourth-rank Huwei General of the Imperial Front, and led 30,000 soldiers in the Huben Camp. As for..." When Zhu Di said this, his expression hesitated for a moment, "I heard that Xiong Wanli's wife, Mount Tai, collapsed in front of her and refused to surrender until her death. I deeply felt that her chastity and martyrdom. Today I specially appointed her as Princess Zhenlie, and buried her grandly according to the royal etiquette!"
Not to mention Zhu Di's conferment to Xiong Wanli and Fang Mingyun, Xiong Wanli's wife was posthumously named "Princess Zhenlie", and she was able to be buried in accordance with royal etiquette. This alone was enough to make Xiong Wanli cry. At that moment, Xiong Wanli's eyes were filled with tears, and she shouted with Fang Mingyun, "Thank you for your kindness." But how could this sentence clearly express the sorrow in Xiong Wanli's heart? She could only let tears fall.
Zhu Di swept his eyes back to Zhu Gaoxu again. Seeing that he had not been about to get up, he knew that he had not finished speaking. Zhu Di guessed that neither Xiong Wanli nor Fang Mingyun were the person Zhu Gaoxu was going to say, so he couldn't help but continue asking, "Who else has no reward for the King of Han?"
"Reporting to my father, there is indeed one person, but this person has a special identity. He is the Taoist priest in Baiyun Temple outside Jinling City. Therefore, he did not come to this court today. However, this person has extraordinary strategies and is as talented as a dragon and phoenix chick back then. My son is willing to ask his father for a reward for this person."
"Oh? There are still such people in the world now? They can actually compare with the ancient dragon and phoenix chick. This person is very strange. I am interested. But after hearing what you said, I can't tell where this person is now?" This time, it was really shocked. He never thought that Zhu Gaoxu would meet such a master when he went out. This was so lucky. No matter what, Zhu Di had been curious. He had to meet this person no matter what.
"Report to my father, this Taoist priest, Juinian, has been arranged by me in the inn in the capital at this time." Seeing that Zhu Di seemed to be really moved, Zhu Gaoxu knew that his goal had been achieved. Zhu Gaoxu was not worried about Juinian at all, because he knew that with Juinian's wisdom, as long as his father was willing to see him, he would definitely use it. When he asked for someone from his father, his father would definitely reward Juinian for his sake because this person was his own.
Zhu Di swept his eyes to Dongfang Yang behind Zhu Gaochi. Dongfang Yang, as the commander of the Jinyiwei, had more say in these sects in the world than himself. "Dongfang's beloved minister, do you know what kind of person this Jue Nian is? Why have I never heard anyone talk about it before?"
In fact, when Zhu Gaoxu said the word "jue Nian", Dongfang Yang's expression became complicated. I am afraid that no one of them is doing it. It was his Fei Ge who sent a letter to Dongfang Ling and asked him to tell Master Bai He about this. However, how could this be so different from his own estimate? How did Jue Nian walk with Zhu Gaoxu? Could it be that Zhu Gaoxu did not show Jue Nian's true identity? But although Dongfang Yang had too many questions in his mind, at this time, especially in front of Zhu Di, Dongfang Yang could not express it.
Dongfang Yang hurried out, his voice pale, "Report to Your Majesty, this is the fault of the old minister. The old minister has never heard of a person like Juenian in Baiyun Temple. It must be the disciple of Taoist Bai He who has recently received a new disciple. As for what this Taoist Master Juenian is, the old minister really doesn't know."
