Chapter 1362 1038. Dongting Layout

Only before Zhao Dongting asked Yunjing to sleep, he had to explain a few words to Lewu.

This girl is very jealous.

Zhao Dongting didn't want to see her and sneak out of the palace.

He told Le Wu that after some time when Xiao Yulin came to Changsha, he would personally talk about this matter with Xiao Yulin, and then officially take her as his concubine.

This made Lewu look red and there was nothing unhappy in her heart.

The next day.

Zhao Dongting got up refreshedly.

Yunjing is still sleeping soundly on the bed, with her hair messy, but she looks even more beautiful.

Zhao Dongting tiptoed, not waking her up. After she asked the maid to put on her clothes, she went straight to the imperial study.

At this time, the sky was still slightly bright.

But Eunuch Liu was already waiting in the imperial study room.

As soon as Zhao Dongting entered the imperial study, he said to Eunuch Liu: "Grandpa, come for breakfast. In addition, go to Xuan Zhu Hecong and Zhu Haiwang to enter the palace."

Zhu Hecong and Zhu Haiwang performed extremely well on Guangnan West Road. He is now eager to see these two brothers.

This time, the two brothers did give him a face.

Zhao Dongting didn't mind rewarding them first.

Now the war in southern Xinjiang of the Song Dynasty has completely come to an end, and the situation in northern Xinjiang is almost clear. Now the reward of two people can still make soldiers from all over the country excited.

He, Zhao Dongting, is not the kind of person who has made contributions but no rewards.

First, I rewarded Zhu Hecong and Zhu Haiwang brothers, and I also wanted to show them to the generals from all over the country.

I think that when the war ends, countless new stars in the Song Dynasty will rise slowly.

Soon, a eunuch came in with breakfast.

Zhao Dongting had a meal in the imperial study room.

Then a short while later, the brothers Zhu Hecong and Zhu Haiwang were also brought over by Eunuch Liu.

As soon as they entered the imperial study, the two brothers fell to the ground, "Mr. Zhu Hecong, Zhu Haiwang bowed to the emperor, long live the emperor..."

Zhao Dongting stood up and helped the two brothers up, and smiled and said, "This time, you brothers and two Guangnan West Road have made great contributions, thank you for your hard work."

Both brothers just gave in, "I dare not take credit for me."

Zhao Dongting said: "What's the matter that you dare not take credit for? Your credit is yours, and there is no need to be so humble."

As he said that, he showed a little playful smile and said softly: "I heard that you could cause a lot of sensation when you returned to the imperial city yesterday. Countless ladies in the imperial city have come to the top of the city to greet you. Did you see the girl you like?"

Zhu Hecong and Zhu Haiwang brothers were embarrassed. They didn't dare to look at them at all.

Zhao Dongting didn't ask much, patted his brothers on both shoulders, "When will you have a girl you like, I will give you a marriage."

This matter is actually nothing to Zhao Dongting, but it was so grateful to Zhu Hecong and Zhu Haiwang's ears.

This is the king's honor. Speaking of which, it is the same principle that it can make the people feel honored.

"Give a seat."

He asked the eunuch to give the two brothers Zhu Hecong and Zhu Haiwang to seat him, and Zhao Dongting also returned to the bed and sat down.

His eyes were still looking at the brothers, and he smiled continuously, and he slowly said: "You destroyed the 50,000 Li Jun in Yongzhou, and worked with Liu Hongyi's pacifier to defeat the Dali Army. All of my military achievements have been seen in the good news written by Liu Hongyi's pacifier to me. Even I feel very surprised by your two of you on this trip! Even if I go in person, I may not be able to do better than you brothers."

Zhao Dongting's smile became stronger and stronger, "Think about it, you have been by my side for a long time, and you have learned almost everything you should learn. I want to ask you two here whether you want to serve in the army, or send them to local officials, or continue to be an official in this imperial city. But it is impossible to continue to stay by my side and be a small yellow gate. If this is spread, people in the world will say that I have made contributions and will not reward you."

Zhu Hecong and Zhu Haiwang really had such thoughts. They were about to open their mouths, but when they heard Zhao Dongting say this, they had to swallow the words in their stomachs again.

The time when I stayed in the Imperial Study Room to serve Zhao Dongting was not easy, but it was fulfilling. The two brothers also enjoyed that kind of time.

But Zhao Dongting said this, and they obviously had no chance of staying in the palace again.

Zhu Haiwang and Zhu Hecong brothers looked at each other.

Then Zhu Hecong took the lead and said, "Emperor, I want to continue to stay in the imperial city as an official."

Zhu Haiwang continued: "I want to work in the army."

They had actually discussed this matter last night. Because when Eunuch Liu issued an order yesterday, he said that when the emperor returned to the palace, they would reward them separately.

Zhu Hecong is the eldest brother and stays in the imperial city, probably because he wants to serve his parents in the future. As a younger brother, Zhu Haiwang can pursue his dreams.

During the period of fighting on Guangnan West Road, he was passionate and still remembered it in his heart.

Zhao Dongting was not surprised when he heard the two brothers say this, but just buckled the table with his fingers and pondered.

After a few minutes, he said to Zhu Hecong: "Since you want to stay in the court as an official, then you should go to the Finance Department's Secretary Chen to be a minister, how about it?"

Zhu Hecong knelt on the ground, "My minister Zhu Hecong thanked the Lord for his kindness!"

This was far beyond his expectations.

The Minister of State is the deputy secretary and can be regarded as a real-power official in the court. Not to mention an important department like the Finance Department.

He never thought that the emperor would promote him like this.

From Xiaohuangmen to the Minister of Finance, how many levels have I jumped!

Zhao Dongting nodded, "Let's learn from Shangshu Chen, don't let me down."

Then he looked at Zhu Haiwang again and asked, "Haiwang, if I send you to Dali, would you like?"

Zhu Haiwang was slightly stunned, "Does the emperor ask the ministers to lead their troops to attack Dali?"

Zhao Dongting smiled and shook his head, "No, Dali is now empty. I think it's enough to destroy Dali by Commander Liu and others. I plan to set up the Dali Military Region in Dali after taking over Dali to suppress the tribes in Dali. If you don't think Dali is remote, I intend to let you go to Dali Military Region to serve as the commander first. What do you want?"

Zhu Haiwang's eyes immediately showed joy and couldn't stop, and he also knelt down quickly: "My minister Zhu Haiwang thanked the Lord for his kindness!"

He was naturally overjoyed.

Zhao Dongting's reward to him was no less than that to Zhu Hecong.

Although Dali is located in a remote place, as long as it can be a general in the army, what is this?

Zhu Hecong was taken care of at home, so Zhu Haiwang didn't care where he was working.

"Um."

Zhao Dongting was also happy to see that the two brothers were so satisfied. "Then I will issue an edict. He Cong, you can go to the Finance Department tomorrow, and I hope you can rest at home first. By the way, He Cong, you have served in the Finance Department before, so today I will visit Chen Shangshu, bring more gifts and learn more from him."

"I know."

Zhu Hecong quickly agreed.

Then, a short while, the two brothers left the imperial study room with joyful expressions.

Only Eunuch Liu and Zhao Dongting remained in the imperial study.

Eunuch Liu did not ask Zhao Dongting what he said, but he was also sighing in his heart, "The Zhu family is going to cause a sensation in the court. In a short time, the Zhu family will also become a newcomer in the court..."

Although Zhao Dongting was only temporarily named Zhu Hecong, and Zhu Haiwang was the Minister of Finance and the Commander of the First Army of the Dali Military Region, he had been with Zhao Dongting for a long time, and it was obvious that Zhao Dongting was planning.

Chen Jianghan has already retired to the second line.

And there are many generals in the army nowadays.

How could Zhu Hecong and Zhu Haiwang's career be stopped only by the Minister of the Secretariat and the Army Commander?

I just don’t know if the emperor has the intention to raise the Zhu family and balance forces such as the Su family, Wen family, Lu family and other forces in the court.

Even if Zhao Dongting didn't say this, Eunuch Liu didn't dare to ask too much.

Before we knew it, time was approaching noon.

An eunuch hurried into the imperial study with a letter and reported to Zhao Dongting: "Emperor, there is a good report in Fuzhou."

Zhao Dongting, who was reading a book, immediately smiled on his face, "It's finally here."

Then he got up and took Huang Hua's Fuzhou good news from the eunuch.

As a result, he also gained an understanding of the entire process of the Battle of Fuzhou.

Generals such as Huang Hua, Gao Tianzong, and Che Hongyu are all people who have made great contributions. Even Lu Yingcai, Liu Xikuang, Diaozhu and others must be rewarded.
