My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 185

Five days later, a grand celebration banquet was held in the Imperial Garden. Except for General Wu and Deng Yunheng, who stayed at Jianmen Pass to deal with the aftermath, all the heroes who were supposed to come were present.

Especially Jiang Chen's appearance left all civil and military officials confused for a moment.

How could this traitor from Prince Yong's Mansion, a former Xirong military advisor, appear at Dayong's celebration banquet?

Soon, Emperor Qianyuan gave an answer that shocked the world.

Jiang Chen, who should have been called Wei Chen, was the orphan of the former crown prince Yixian. King Yong kept him anonymous for many years for evil purposes, which led to him falling into the hands of Xirong, so he had to endure the humiliation and bear the burden and slowly pursue his plans.

The courtiers were stunned by this heavy news and suddenly thought about many things.

The so-called "Ling'an Rebellion" must be a plan set up by His Majesty and Wei Chen to combine internal and external forces, and the purpose should be to use the hands of the Xirong people to eliminate Yong Wang's Mansion.

No wonder they only sent [-] elite soldiers to Ling'an for peace talks in front of Jianmen Pass, including food and firearms. However, Ling'an City has been peaceful since it was captured. It seems that it was Wei Chen who was involved. the result of.

From the beginning to the end, the only thing His Majesty wanted to kill was Prince Yong's Mansion, so he wanted to keep Ling'an City intact.

With the "Thunderbolt" in hand, His Majesty certainly did not have to worry about setting himself on fire. Instead, he used this battle to severely defeat Xirong and secure a century of stability for Dayong Border...

The more they thought about it, the more the ministers became worried and sweated on their foreheads. It turns out that His Majesty is indeed strategizing and has far-reaching wisdom.

"I am disclosing Wei Chen's identity today because I want to rectify his name and let the child recognize his ancestor and return to the clan. Afterwards, the Qintian Supervisor will choose a good and auspicious day to open the ancestral hall and record Wei Chen on the royal jade plate as the successor to the crown prince. In the same lineage, it will definitely be very gratifying to show that the emperor brother is alive in heaven."

"Your Majesty is kind and kind..."

"Your Majesty Shengming..."

The courtiers below all responded with praise, and the smile on Emperor Qianyuan's lips disappeared briefly.

"During the battle of Ling'an, Wei Chen was brave and resourceful, and made great contributions. He was specially named the 'Prince of Changning'. He opened his mansion and lived there on that day. He received the salary of the county prince, and was rewarded with thousands of taels of silver and thousands of acres of fertile land... "

As the flowing reward was read out, everyone couldn't help but look at the cyan figure who was always calm and composed in the palace.

Such a reward may seem generous, but in fact it only serves the false name of a county prince, but does not hold any official position or real power in the court. It seems that His Majesty is still wary of this newly recognized nephew.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the generous reward!" Wei Chen accepted it calmly with a smile, without any hint of reluctance.

It can be said that Emperor Qianyuan's status arrangements and rewards for him were all within his expectations, so there is nothing to be happy about.

He had only two purposes for returning to Beijing on this trip. One was to recognize his ancestors and clear his name so that his mother could be buried beside his father; the other was to meet the person he wanted to see.As for the glory and wealth, what use would it have to a dying man like him?
The celebration banquet continued, followed by His Majesty's awards to General Wu and other soldiers in the Battle of Jianmen Pass. Even the several lieutenants who died in the battle were given posthumous titles and generous rewards were given to their families.

General Wu and Deng Yunheng were promoted to two ranks respectively and held important positions in the army, making others envious of them.

At the end of the award ceremony, it was Qin Yan and Qin He's turn.

All the officials suspected that this time the Qin family's father and son had made such great achievements, they were afraid that they would be promoted to a higher rank.

However, when the emperor's reward came out, it almost shocked everyone's jaws.

Qin Minzhen, the original lord of Zhaochun County, was made the Princess of Zhaochun County, and Qin He's daughter, who was under three years old, was made the Princess of Yichang County. She was rewarded with a bunch of gold, silver, jewelry and farmland, and then disappeared.

The two parties involved, Qin Yan and Qin He, father and son, did not even receive promotions, let alone promotions.

All the officials were stunned when they saw this, and some political opponents of the Qin family couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

Everyone secretly wondered, maybe His Majesty felt that the Qin family's father and son were superior to the master, so he was jealous, so he bypassed the father and son and only gave the Qin family's female family members a painless title. In fact, he was secretly suppressing Qin's family. The arrogance of father and son.

No matter how suspicious others were, Qin Yan and Qin He happily stepped forward to receive the reward, which in the eyes of everyone became evidence of their "forced smiles".

How did they know that the smiles on the faces of the Qin family's father and son were completely sincere.

Originally, Qin Yan privately asked Emperor Qianyuan for a "talisman" to protect the three generations. The emperor agreed, but felt that this was too slight to the meritorious officials, so he transferred the reward to the female relatives of the Qin family, which played into the plans of the Qin family's father and son. .

In this way, the outside world may mistakenly think that the emperor has a grudge against the Qin family. They are worried about how to keep a low profile and not arouse jealousy and jealousy. His Majesty's move is unintentional.

The grand celebration banquet came to a lively end, but what happened at the banquet quickly swept the capital.

Regarding the experiences of the Qin family father and son, the outside world generally believes that the two aroused the emperor's suspicion and lost the emperor's heart.

Some people gloated over the misfortune, while others felt aggrieved for the Qin family. The previously well-established Qin family gradually became desolate, which seemed to imply that it had fallen out of favor.

In a place where no one knew, Qin Yan locked the iron certificate of the alchemy book just obtained from the palace into the secret room like a treasure, and finally let go of the big stone in his heart.

With this life-saving device, even if His Majesty a hundred years later, the new emperor who ascends the throne will not be able to take action against the Qin family.

After all, Your Majesty is willing to give the Qin family some dignity and honor in consideration of the relationship between monarch and minister for so many years. He, Qin Yan, is willing to follow Your Majesty to the death in his life.
