After losing the vest at the beginning, the female general was forced to marry the scheming prince

Chapter 237
The ministers were not too surprised by Qu Chu's answer. They still remembered that General Qu had submitted an apology for going to the brothel before, which was really arrogant.

The other ministers were not surprised, but the Duke Protector still found it incomprehensible.

It was the first time for Duke Hu to see Qu Chu's memorial. In his opinion, Qu Chu's memorial was too arrogant and disrespectful to the emperor.

He glanced at the emperor, but saw the forced smile on the emperor's face.

Does the emperor blame General Qu?
How could this be?
Does that mean that the emperor is tolerant not only to King Chu, but also to General Qu?
……

The emperor did not blame Qu Chu.

The reason why he didn't blame Qu Chu was because he knew that Qu Chu was not disrespectful to him, but told others clearly: I did it on purpose, and I just wanted to avenge the King of Chu.

Not only did the emperor not blame Qu Chu, but he wanted to laugh when he thought of Qu Chu's serious way of speaking. He coughed twice before he could hold back his smile.

"Although the King of Chu was seriously injured for protecting General Qu, this is just a matter between you and your wife, and this matter cannot be regarded as your fault.

As for the accidental injury to Ning Youdi, it was indeed General Qu's fault, but I think: General Qu's contribution is still greater than his fault, so the reward should still be awarded. "

After the emperor finished speaking, he first named Duke Zhen:
"Master, Ning Youdi is your nephew. General Qu injured his arm by mistake. I need to ask for your opinion on how to punish her."

Duke Zhen Guo hadn't gone to court for many years, but he started to go to court again after seeing the totem on Ning Youbei's body that day.

However, the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion is the only hereditary duke's mansion that has survived since the founding of the Dayu Kingdom. It has its own connections and influence. Seeing that the emperor named Duke of Zhenguo by name, many ministers looked at him. The Duke of Zhen.

In the past, Duke Zhen would definitely hold Qu Chu accountable, but now it is different.

The king of Chu is the real master of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, and Qu Chu is the mistress.

Although the weight of the mistress is not very important, Qu Chu, the mistress, is different.

Qu Chu is the mistress who holds a heavy army. Whether King Chu can become the next emperor depends on this mistress.

What's more, this time it was Youdi who hurt the master first, and the mistress was avenging the master.

Zhen Guogong came out and said:

"Your Majesty is kind enough to spare You Di's life, and I dare not have any other extravagant hopes. Since General Qu accidentally injured You Di by accident, then he should be punished slightly as a warning."

The emperor ordered Wei Guogong again, "Wei Guogong, what do you think should be done?"

This matter has nothing to do with Wei Guogong, he will not confront the emperor and Qu Chu because of this matter.

The Duke of Wei came out and said, "Your Majesty, since the Duke of Zhen said that the punishment will be light, the minister has no opinion, and everything is up to His Majesty."

The emperor also named several ministers, and they all said that General Qu's merits outweighed his demerits and should be rewarded.

The emperor thought for a while and said:

"General Qu led the army this time, and he has indeed made great contributions. Not only did he quell the rebellion, but he also repelled the Nanyi and made the Nanyi surrender. It is not an exaggeration to make him a duke.

It's just that she also made mistakes after all, and she always needs to be punished, so I will make her a vassal, what do you think? "

The original meaning of "captive" refers to prisoners of war, extended to slaves, slaves, enemies, captured, and later also refers to barbarians. It is most appropriate to designate Qu Chu as the Marquis of Pinglu.

The ministers had long expected that the generals who followed Qu Chu this time had been promoted to the lowest level. Like Qu Chu’s request for merit just now, although he was a first-rank viscount for General Fan, he was not exempted. He is taking the position of first-rank general, and this viscount can be inherited.

Everyone else got promoted, but she, the person who contributed the most, didn't get promoted.

Therefore, after the emperor opened his mouth, all the voices of support from "Your Majesty's Holy Spirit".

From now on, Qu Chu has been promoted from Andingbo of the third rank to Marquis of Pinglu of the second rank. He is the youngest marquis who has been conferred with his own merits since the establishment of the Dayu Dynasty.

……

Seeing that the court hall became quiet, Qu Chu took out the third leaflet.

"Qizou Your Majesty, this memorial is still a request for credit, but the people who request credit for it are two women."

Qu Chu succinctly narrated how Su Yingxue and Qu Bingyu went deep into Nanyi, mastered the art of making Gu poison from Nanyi, finally developed the antidote to Jiugu poison, and cured more than 1 soldiers.

"Your Majesty, what is important is not only the treatment of these 1 soldiers, but also the fact that from now on, the Dayu soldiers stationed on the border of Nanyi and the people of Nanshu no longer have to fear the poison of Nanyi."

After Qu Chu finished speaking, Han Xueshi stepped forward in time.

"Report to Your Majesty: What General Qu said is true, I witnessed all this with my own eyes in Nanyi Kingdom."

Han Xueshi not only talked about how the dove poison spreads quickly and how it can cause people to fester and die, but also how the Nanyi priest gave Qu Chu the golden silkworm Gu and how Su Yingxue killed the golden silkworm Gu. .

He also talked about the changes in Shensi's attitude after thinking that Qu Chu had been hit by the golden silkworm Gu.

"I saw the golden silkworm Gu flying out of General Qu's body with my own eyes. If it wasn't for the owner of Su Zhuang, not only General Qu, but also the ministers would also be poisoned by the poison. It is impossible for Nanyi to bow down and be a minister willingly."

He has already sent a memorial to the emperor about what Xueshi Han said, and today he just recounted it in front of the courtiers.

After Han Xueshi finished speaking, officials who followed Han Xueshi to Nanyi came out to testify.

Han Xueshi can be regarded as the emperor's confidant, and with so many ministers testifying, the emperor and courtiers will not doubt that what Qu Chu said is true.

The emperor asked: "According to what General Qu and the other ministers said, I really should reward Master Su and Miss Qu. I think it's better to confer them..."

Before the emperor finished his words, Qu Chu bowed again, "Your Majesty, I still have something to report to Master Su."

"You said."

"Villa Master Su made such a great contribution. I asked Master Su what reward he wanted, but Master Su said that she is my friend and a member of the Jianghu. What she does is for righteousness, not for reward. .

Kechen thought: Su Zhuangzhu may not want it, but the court must reward him.

Su Zhuangzhu said: "I am a woman in the world, I don't know the etiquette of the harem, so I have nothing to do with fish or fish." He firmly refused.

So the minister thought: Since rewards are to be awarded, it must make people happy.

Either the imperial court would not reward her at all, or else it would not be possible to confer her a vain position in the imperial court, with an empty name and no official position in the imperial court. "

The emperor understood what Qu Chu meant, but the other officials didn't understand.

A minister immediately stood up.

"As long as the imperial court gives her a reward, she should accept it. How can a woman be picky and picky?"

Qu Chu ignored him.

It was Han Xueshi who stood up and spoke for Su Yingxue.
