Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

Chapter 258: Invite my master quickly
The reason why Murong Jiu was so happy was of course because the emperor was bleeding profusely.

Rewards are based on merit, but my father is already the general of Zhenbei. He can hardly rise any higher, and it is impossible to award fiefs. The emperor is suspicious and is afraid that the people below him will rebel. How can he dare to reward fiefs just because he is happy like the previous emperor did? , as a result, many families raised private soldiers on their fiefdoms.

The previous emperor was dissolute and extravagant, so naturally some people rebelled.

The founding emperor of Dayan was a general who was victorious in many battles in the previous dynasty. He was awarded countless fiefdoms, which gave him the confidence to rebel.

So the whole world changed their surname to Jun.

There is a precedent in the Yan royal family. From the founding emperor to the current emperor, rewards based on merit have never been granted.

Murong Jiu's Chaling County was not included. It was a remote and remote area where the people did not have enough to eat. It was surrounded by mountains and it was difficult to travel. It was not considered a fiefdom at all. In the eyes of the emperor, it was just an unimportant reward.

Even the second and third princes never put such a small place in their eyes.

No one would have thought that there would be endless iron ore in such a humble mountain nest.

It's far away.

In addition to Murong Jiu, there are two exceptions. One is the third prince, Prince Rui. On the day when the title was given, he was also rewarded with thousands of hectares of fertile land, all of which were his fiefdom.Among all the princes, Jun Yuyan was the only one who did not have a fiefdom.

Another exception is Xiaowen's father, King Yundian.

The Yundian Prince's Mansion is hereditary, and that area has always been in the hands of the Mu family. It belonged to the Mu family in the previous dynasty. Later, the Jun family rebelled and proclaimed themselves emperor. At that time, the Yundian Prince took the initiative to submit. In addition, the border turmoil was serious, and Xiaoxiao died. The country invaded, and the king of Yundian defeated it. Not only did he cede the territory, he also got several more vassal countries that paid tribute.

The founding emperor saw that the Mu family was a tough nut to crack, so he simply stopped chewing it and re-titled him as King of Yundian. The Mu family's influence still belonged to the fiefdom of the Yundian Prince's Palace.

Look, this happened many years ago. In recent years, no one has a fief anymore.

So this time will be no exception.

Since they are not rewarded with fiefdom, they will naturally be rewarded with gold, silver, treasures, and high-ranking officials with generous salaries.

Murong Jiu's guess was correct. Jun Yuyan's reward was rich gold and silver treasures.

Then he praised Concubine Qi for her good way of raising her children, and specially named her the imperial concubine.

This is truly the only one under the Queen.

Murong Jiu felt ridiculous after hearing this.

I don’t know what Emperor Qi’s concubine will look like when she receives the title.

His father, General Fu, also had no fiefdom. In addition to gold and silver rewards, he was given a title that could be inherited for three generations. Now he is the Marquis of Xuanping, and his salary has also increased.

The eldest brother Fu Heng, the second brother Fu Sheng, and Su Shizi Su Kai were all awarded official positions respectively, and their futures seemed bright.

Other generals also received considerable rewards, and they all received official posts and salaries.

This made those sons of aristocratic families who did not dare to go to the battlefield regret it. If they had known that this war could be so successful, they should have gone to the border and earned an official position.

An idle son like Su Kai, once he went out, his body was transformed like a layer of gold. He became a fifth-grade Yulin general, a close minister of the emperor, and commanded the Yulin army.

Although Su Kai had made great achievements at the border and helped King Ling capture the second Huns prince, so he was awarded this reward, but many people felt that he was just taking advantage of King Ling.

It was also Su Kai who attracted people's jealousy over Fu Heng and Fu Sheng. The sons of those aristocratic families could not compare with General Fu's son, but they felt that they were much better than Su Kai and regretted not being able to go to the border to make contributions.

"These people are really ridiculous. They have no idea how dangerous the border is. If we didn't have fire and thunder, how many soldiers would have died. They talk so much and think things are so simple."

Before Jun Yuyan and the others left the palace, the reward had already spread out of the palace. The guards passed by the teahouse and heard that the aristocratic family members were full of jealousy, so they came back to tell Murong Jiu.

Murong Jiu disdained being acquainted with such people. He relied on his family's protection to get rich clothes and food, but he didn't know how hard it was to live on the border.

After saying that, she stood up and asked Chuntao to get her cloak. She was going to greet her husband at the door.My father and brother should also come, but not necessarily. They are really rushing back to Beijing. The journey has been very hard. Maybe they will take a rest and come back to see her tomorrow.

She thought it would be better for her to visit her father and brother in the general's mansion, but Jun Yuyan would definitely not let her go out. Who knew if there would be any potential danger.

Chuntao smiled and said: "Princess, please slow down. The guards said that the prince has not left the palace yet. It is too early to go to the door to greet the prince."

"It's okay. I walk slowly. If you don't come, I'll walk a few more laps and treat it as a digestion walk."

Seeing this, Chuntao had no choice but to smile and go to prepare the stove first and put it into the hands of the princess. Then she went to get the thick cloak, put it on the princess's shoulders, and put on the hood as well.

Murong Jiu felt extremely warm. When he saw her going out, Kaixuan immediately jumped out of the wolf den under the eaves and walked to the front, as if leading the way for her.

He raised his head and his light blue eyes were full of alertness, which was really very powerful.

At the gate, Xiaowen ran over: "Princess! How are you today?"

Murong Jiu rubbed his head: "Okay, did I hear you caught the cold yesterday? Will you be cured so soon?"

Xiao Wen said proudly: "I'm in good health now. I just had a headache and chills yesterday. I just drank a decoction and everything was fine!"

Murong Jiu said to him: "The people below said that you stayed up late at night to read medical books, and that's why you caught a cold. You can't do this again in the future, do you understand?"

"I know, Princess!"

Xiaowen looked at her with eyes full of admiration.

Murong Jiu couldn't help but ruffled his hair again.

Thinking that he would return to Prince Yundian's Mansion after the new year, he felt reluctant to leave.

At this moment, the sound of gongs and drums was heard outside, and Chang Chonghai quickly walked in, "Princess, firecrackers are going to be set off at the door to welcome the prince. You have to step back, so as not to be startled by the sound."

Murong Jiu was not afraid of the sound of firecrackers, but the loud sound might scare the baby in her belly, so with the help of Chuntao Hongyi and the others, she stepped back.

As soon as Chang Chonghai went out, the sound of firecrackers outside started.

At the same time, Murong Jiu's stomach was kicked by two little feet, as if he sensed that his father was back, and he felt excited.

She also felt excited, obviously, the two of them had just separated in the morning.

Why does it feel like we have been separated for a long time?

It must be because Jun Yuyan had an inseparable relationship with her after he came back, which made her feel a little uncomfortable for a while.

She smiled, then suddenly lowered her head and her expression changed.

The little wolf sniffed around her, becoming visibly impatient.

She held Chuntao's hand tightly, held her belly with the other hand, and said urgently:
"Hongyi, Hongyi, go and ask my master to come over!"

Hongyi and Chuntao also changed their expressions instantly. Hongyi disappeared immediately, while Chuntao quickly helped her back to the corridor and sat down.

"Princess, what's wrong with you?"

Chuntao's eyes turned red.

Xiaowen ran out quickly.
