Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 649

Yu Shinan, Kong Yingda and others praised Su Cheng without hesitation. Although Su Cheng, a great talent, did not become a civil servant, but became a nobleman, which made them feel a little pity, but they recognized Su Cheng very much.

Recognition of Su Cheng's talent and even more recognition of Su Cheng's achievements.

Moreover, the first time Su Cheng appeared in Chang'an and wrote a poem was at their poetry meeting. Later, Su Cheng was arrested by the emperor, and they ran to the palace to intercede for Su Cheng because they cherished their talents.

Now whenever they think about it or talk about it, they are very proud. At the poetry meeting back then, they saw Su Cheng's talent at a glance, which shows how accurate their vision is.

Seeing Su Cheng shine in Chang'an, they had the feeling of seeing their nephew succeed.

In addition, they also felt that Su Cheng had made the greatest contribution in the matter of white folded flowers, so they all praised Su Cheng.

Hou Junji next to him couldn't help but feel very depressed when he heard these praises. Today should be his most glorious moment, but these veterans are all praising Su Cheng.

It is true that he knew that Su Cheng's contribution was indeed not small, but he led an army to travel long distances to destroy Gaochang country, and brought back so many seeds of white flowers. Could it be that his contribution is not as good as Su Cheng's?

After all, Su Cheng just moved his mouth, and it was him, Hou Junji, who really contributed!

However, these old ministers praised Su Cheng all the time. What's the matter with the emperor's face of approval?

Li Shimin really agrees with Su Cheng's achievements, and he feels very honored to hear everyone's praise. After all, Su Cheng is his son-in-law.

Hou Junji's gaze swept over a group of former colleagues from the Qin Palace, and it turned out that Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, and Li Ji all agreed with each other.

Hou Junji was speechless and helpless.

This is my triumphant ceremony!

Why did you keep praising Su Cheng at my triumphant ceremony?

This is the achievement of destroying the country, a feat that can be recorded in the annals of history forever!Isn't it worthy of your praise?

When Hou Junji was hand-picked by the emperor to be the chief manager of Jiaohe Road, he was still proud of his holy family.

Because he knew that many people envied him, but now he envied Su Cheng's family members, not only the family members, but also Su Cheng's position in the court.

Like him, even though he has a holy family, even though he is in the position of Duke, his status in the court is not high, because there are too many Dukes in the court, and many of them are very senior and have made great contributions in the founding battle. Tired old minister.

So he also admitted.

But when it comes to rising stars, we have to talk about Su Cheng. Su Cheng is much later and younger than him, but Su Cheng seems to be superior to him.

At his triumphant ceremony, Hou Junji felt a little sour.

"Okay, okay, so many seeds of the white chrysanthemum, if we plant them this spring, we will surely produce enough seeds in the fall, and we will be able to plant the entire Tang Dynasty next year! Our people will no longer have to worry about being exposed to the cold! "Li Shimin said excitedly.

Not only white cascades, corn will be planted in Guanzhong this spring, and it is conceivable that autumn will be another season of fruitful harvest.

Kong Yingda stroked his gray beard and wrinkled his face with a smile: "In two years, our Tang Dynasty will no longer be hungry or cold!"

Yu Shinan praised: "With the presence of a sage king and the assistance of a virtuous official like Su Cheng, there will be a prosperous world without hunger and cold!"

Hou Junji felt that he couldn't be like this anymore, this was his triumphant ceremony, and he couldn't let Su Cheng steal his style!

"Your Majesty, I know that although we have the seeds of the japonica, we have never planted the jasmine in Tang Dynasty, so we don't know how to plant it, so I brought back hundreds of farmers who are familiar with the jasmine from Gaochang... ..." Hou Junji asked for credit loudly.

Li Shimin, who was holding the japonica seeds in his forehand, couldn't help being surprised when he heard it. Although he got the jasmine flowers seeds, he was still a little worried about planting jasmine flowers.

Unexpectedly, Hou Junji actually captured an experienced farmer from Gaochang State, what a surprise!

Li Shimin couldn't help laughing in surprise after hearing this: "Okay, very good, Hou Junji, you have a heart! I was still a little worried about how to plant white jasmine flowers, but I didn't expect you to catch an experienced farmer, which even I don't know. I didn't expect it! This surprises me even more than capturing King Gaochang alive!"

Not only Li Shimin was pleasantly surprised, but even Wei Zheng and other officials were also surprised. Originally, everyone was worried that the people in Sinong Temple would not know how to plant white-flowered flowers, but they never expected that Hou Junji would bring back farmers from Gaochang Kingdom. .

The emperor was right, bringing back experienced farmers from Gaochang was much more pleasant than bringing back the king of Gaochang!

I didn't expect Hou Junji, a rough guy, to have foresight!

Hearing the praise from the emperor and all the important ministers, Hou Junji felt very proud, and finally regained his style and face.

Hou Junji said in a respectful voice: "It is the duty of a minister to share worries for His Majesty!"

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Okay, okay, I'll do it for you again!"

From the beginning to the end, Su Cheng just stood behind Li Shimin and watched quietly, with a faint smile on his face.

Even if Kong Yingda and the others kept praising him, he was not proud, because he had heard too many such compliments, and he was almost numb.

Since it was the triumphant ceremony of the soldiers who went to war, Su Cheng felt that it was better for him to keep a low profile.

"Tell me and the ministers about the expedition later!" Li Shimin said with great interest.

Hou Junji finally regained the demeanor of a victorious hero, is this the treatment that a meritorious official should have?

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Hou Junji said respectfully.

The next step is to reward the soldiers who went out. The emperor will host a banquet in the palace to entertain the generals who go out of the palace, and the Ministry of Rites will also reward other soldiers who go out.

The royal driver set off to return to the palace, and all the civil and military officials returned to the palace mightily, Su Cheng rode on the horse and slowly fell behind.

So far, he has not been able to speak to Xue Rengui. Firstly, his triumphant ceremony is a very formal ceremony, everyone is very solemn, and the distance between Su Cheng and Xue Rengui is too far.

After all, Xue Rengui was just a small Zhonglang general, and he didn't even have the qualifications to face the saint at all, so he could only follow behind in front of so many princes and important ministers in the court.

So Su Cheng could only slowly lag behind to find Xue Rengui, otherwise he and Xue Rengui would be far apart at the imperial banquet.

"Grandpa!" Seeing Su Cheng, Xue Rengui couldn't help being a little excited, as if he had countless things to say, after all, this was his first real expedition.

"Rengui, you've worked hard!" Su Cheng said with a smile.

"No hard work, not hard work at all!" Xue Rengui said with a naive smile. He had always dreamed of leading the expedition, so although the journey was far away this time, his heart was full of excitement and anticipation, so he didn't feel hard at all.
