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

Chapter 238 Confession of the County Lord and Junjun
During the time Han Xueshi was in Nanyi, he saw with his own eyes how Su Yingxue and the others rescued the soldiers, and also witnessed Su Yingxue's ability, so he was full of admiration for Su Yingxue.

"Su Zhuangzhu is not an ordinary woman. Her determination, ability, and courage are not inferior to men's. It is also possible to give her a vacant position in the court."

The minister said: "No matter how capable she is, she is still a woman. Even if she wants to be rewarded, she can only be awarded a female rank."

It's not wrong to say this, and the minister didn't say no to reward, so it's hard for Xueshi Han to say anything else.

Qu Chu did not argue with the ministers, but only said to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, I'm just repeating what Master Su said. As for how to reward him, I'm up to His Majesty to decide."

The official who retorted was still waiting for Qu Chu to argue with him. He had a lot of reasons to say, but he didn't expect Qu Chu to die.

Qu Chu is not a fool, Su Yingxue's request was difficult in the first place, it was unprecedented before, and it was impossible for her to fulfill it all at once.

She just mentioned it just now to let everyone have an impression. When she mentions it next time, everyone will not be surprised anymore. When the right opportunity comes, the wish can be fulfilled.

Regarding Su Yingxue's request, the emperor was also embarrassed, but he didn't think Su Yingxue's request was too much, but there had never been such a precedent, and it would be very difficult for the ministers to agree.

Fortunately, Qu Chu didn't insist.

From this incident, the emperor's understanding of Qu Chu has increased. She is really not a reckless person who takes credit for herself.

The emperor thought for a moment and said:
"Since Zhuangzhu Su and Miss Qu have made great contributions, they should be rewarded. Zhuangzhu Su will be named Fuze county lord, and Qu girl will be named Jiahe county lord. Do you have any objections?"

Before Qu Chu said that Su Yingxue should be granted an official position in the court, the ministers felt it was inappropriate, but now that the emperor has appointed her as the county lord, the ministers have nothing to say against it.

But with Qu Bingyu's contribution, Fengzheng Sipin Junjun seems to be a bit taller.

Qu Chu didn't expect that Qu Bingyu could be named the fourth-rank county monarch, but thought that it was very likely that he would be the fifth-rank county monarch.

The emperor named Qu Bingyu the fourth-rank Junjun because of Qu Chu's face.

He knew that Qu Chu valued this junior sister the most, and now that Qu Chuli's contribution was not too much to be crowned Duke, since Qu Chu was lightly rewarded, it would not be a bad idea to make up for her junior sister.

What's more, whether it is Su Yingxue's third-rank county lord or Qu Bingyu's fourth-rank county lord, they are all just false names, without fiefs and salary.

Unlike the Duke and Lord Hou, the benefits they enjoy are quite different.

Although the emperor thought so, other officials didn't think so.

The Minister of Rites felt that it was inappropriate for Qu Bingyu to be named the Lord of the Fourth Rank, and was about to say something when the Duke Huguo came out first.

"Your Majesty, today is a good day, why don't you ask for a prize for the little girl?"

What did the emperor think of:
"Uncle, I was negligent.

Cousin Chen is the daughter of the Duke of the State, and she can be named the Lord of Wupin County according to the system.But since you became the prime minister, you have been self-restraining, revering the etiquette, and working hard, and I only have this cousin, so I canonized her as the fourth-rank county lord.

I will allocate some rewards from my own private property to her. "

The protector hurriedly thanked him.

The emperor laughed again:
"Uncle, I have a lot of things to do, even if I forget, you can remind me. It seems that I treat you poorly."

The Lord Protector hastily bowed:
"I don't dare. It's just that the father and son were highly valued by His Majesty before, and it would be brazen to ask for a reward for the little girl."

It's not that Duke Protector has forgotten, but he's waiting for a suitable opportunity to elevate Chen Yinyu's title.

A great opportunity like today.

With the announcement of Duke Protector, the ministers fell silent.

If he continued to hold on to Qu Bingyu's title at this time, wouldn't he offend Duke Huguo?

Besides, it's nothing more than a title, with no land or salary, that's all!
Seeing this scene, Duke Wei thought to himself: Duke Hu is a tricky old man, but it's a pity that his family doesn't have a daughter who needs a reward, otherwise he could use this opportunity to ask for a reward.

The other ministers did not object, and the Duke of Wei would not oppose the emperor and Duke Huguo because of such a trivial matter.

……

Seeing that there was no objection from the ministers, the emperor ordered the Minister of Rites to draft an edict.

After finishing the matter, the emperor suddenly felt relieved and was in the mood to joke.

He looked at Su Shangshu from the Ministry of Officials, "Su Shangshu, if I remember correctly, the Lord of Jiahe County has made a marriage contract with your son, right?"

Su Shangshu hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Majesty has a good memory. The Lord of Jiahe County does have a marriage contract with the child, and they will get married soon."

The emperor laughed and said:

"Then your family is really blessed! It's just that the Lord of Jiahe County is even higher in rank than your son, so you won't have any objections to me, will you?"

Han Xueshi's envoy to Nanyi also handed in the merit certificate. His Majesty promoted him to the second rank of the Metropolitan Procuratorate Youdu Yushi, and Su Ziyi also became the fifth rank of General Huwei.

However, Lord Jiahe is of the fourth rank.

Su Shangshu quickly bowed his head:
"How dare a humble minister.

Lord Jiahe saved so many soldiers by her own ability, but Xiaoer was far behind.She was awarded the title of Jiahe Junjun because of her majesty's benevolence and her ability.

It is a blessing for her to marry Xiaoer. "

Su Shangshu's words made the emperor extremely happy, and his words became uncontrollable when he was happy.

"Then when the Lord of Jiahe and your son get married, I will also have fun."

Just as Su Shangshu was about to answer these words, the Duke Protector coughed to remind the emperor not to slip up.

The emperor also realized that he was a little overjoyed, and quickly made amends for himself:

"When the Lord of Jiahe County gets married to your son, I will reward the couple with a sympathy knot. Let Hai you remember this for me, and remember to remind me when the time comes."

Naturally, Father-in-Law Rong would not refuse such kindness, and he bowed and replied: "This old slave must remember."

……

**
After going to court, Qu Chu first went to the General's Mansion.

She told Qu Bingyu the news of Feng Jiahe Junjun.

Qu Bingyu was naturally happy, but she was also slightly uneasy.

"Sister Yanhong actually contributed a lot and helped us a lot, but she didn't get any rewards."

Qu Chu naturally also knew that Yan Hong had contributed a lot, but Yan Hong was born as a servant girl. Although Su Yingxue gave her to Qu Chu and after Qu Chu got rid of her slave status, her status was still humble in the eyes of the world.

The ministers would have no objection to granting the seal to Su Yingxue and Qu Bingyu, but if granting the seal to a woman who was born as a maid, it would be tantamount to slapping the emperor and all the ministers in the face.

Unless this handmaiden made an indelible contribution!

However, in this incident of treating the soldiers who were poisoned by the dove poison, Yan Hong's contribution was no greater than that of Su Yingxue and Qu Bingyu.

Su Yingxue formulated the antidote, Qu Bingyu provided rare medicinal materials, and Yanhong just cooperated with Su Yingxue and Qu Bingyu to do many things.

In the eyes of the world, Yanhong should do these things, and she is doing her duty as a servant.
