Chapter 140 Rewards
"Congratulations to Shizhong Zhang..." Not long after Zhang Yue got up, Guo Rang came to congratulate him happily: "Your Majesty's edict has arrived in Lantai, so just wait for the edict to receive it..."
"What edict?" Zhang Yue did not react.
"The Shizhong Dayi took action and helped the Nanxin Lord. The emperor was very happy when he heard this. He wanted to reward the Shizhong with a sword and gold!" Guo Rang said with a smile.
Although it is actually very common for the Emperor Liu to reward the minister with a sword.
Starting from the Taizong, every year the Shaofuqing's examination room had to organize craftsmen to create swords for the emperor to reward ministers.
This has been like this for decades.
Some ministers even had swords given by the emperor.
For example, the Taipu Wei Wan's family during the reign of Emperor Taizong even had hundreds of swords given by Taizong!
When General Changping Liehou was alive, it was said that he had more than 200 imperial swords hidden in his home, which was simply terrifying!
But then again, although the emperors of all generations like to give swords to ministers, if a minister does not even have a sword given by the emperor in his family, it means that the position of this minister in front of the emperor is probably very low.
Therefore, the imperial sword is also a symbol of the status of the minister.
The more you get, the higher your status.
At least it means that the emperor is very close to this minister.
Zhang Yue was also very happy to hear this.
However, he was happy because he did the right thing by himself.
Since the emperor has given some reward, then the little princess will be out of the sea of suffering.
"What are the arrangements for His Majesty Nan Xinzhu?" Zhang Yue asked.
"After the Holy Emperor takes care of Nan Xinzhu, the palace cart will send you sweet springs!" Guo Rang bowed deeply: "Your Majesty wants to raise him!" When he said this, Guo Rang was deeply afraid of the servant in front of him.
Since Princess Wei passed away from illness, no other princess in the palace, who was born by Concubine Jie, could win the favor of the emperor.
However, Nan Xinzhu broke this convention.
The emperor issued an edict asking the queen to take good care of her and sent her to Ganquan Palace after Nan Xinzhu's injury healed.
The Holy Decree said very clearly: I should raise it with my own parents!
And all this happened after the servant in front of him intervened.
Their saint's favor came here, which made Guo Rang amazed.
Twenty years after he entered the palace, it was the first time that he had seen the emperor doting so much for a minister.
Such favorability is probably comparable to that of the legendary little champion Hou in the palace.
Of course, Guo Rang still has luck in his heart.
Fortunately, this emperor's favorite minister has a good relationship with him.
otherwise……
This morning, Jianzhang Gong Changqiu, the left magistrate of Huangmen, these two once prominent central officials, have been arrested and detained in the violent chamber.
Concubine Huang was even scolded, and was demoted to the lowest level of concubines in the palace. She was directly imprisoned in Yongxiang, and basically could not get out of the way.
Under this hindrance, Huang Jieyu and his two brothers who had been living in Zong Zhengqing's yamen were also dismissed and ordered to go home and stay home to think about their mistakes.
In fact, this is almost the same as house arrest.
Thinking of this, Guo Rang smiled and said, "There has been news from the Public Vehicle Bureau just now. It is said that the officials recruited by the Shizhong have all reported it. Please choose a date for the Shizhong to meet..."
After hearing this, Zhang Yue became happy immediately.
Zhao Guo, Hu Jian, Chen Wannian, Sang Jun, these are all important puzzles for Xinfeng County in the future.
It is time to find time to meet, talk, and communicate with each other at the same time.
As a former civil servant, Zhang Yue knew very well that communication with subordinates was related to political achievements!
After thinking about it, Zhang Yue bowed and said, "Please tell me the Public Vehicle Department that I will go to the Public Vehicle Department tomorrow and meet with His Highness Changsun to meet all the capable officials!"
"No!" Guo Rang bowed with a smile.
An hour later, an envoy holding the edict came to Zhang Yue.
He is still an acquaintance, the golden reward for giving horses and Zhang Yue.
"Congratulations to Mr. Zhang..." After reading the edict, Jin Sang came to Zhang Yue with a smile and asked his followers to send the sword and ten Lin-toe gold to Zhang Yue.
The sword is a standard royal object, made of fine iron, and nanmu as the scabbard, decorated with jade and sword spears.
Rituality and ornamentality are greater than practicality.
But Zhang Yue still solemnly put it on his waist to show respect.
As for the gold of the Lin Toe, it is even more amazing.
Since the Yuan Ding, today Zi started to have a lot of imagination and played a wave of White Deer Skin Coins first. Unfortunately, my imagination was too big. Because there was no equivalent to it, the value of White Deer Skin Coins eventually avalanches.
But the Linzhi Gold launched with the White Deer Skin Coin has gained a foothold.
This royal gold cast by Shaofu is even more valuable on the market than all other gold products.
What Zhang Yue now shows are ten gold products with bright yellow all over, rectangular shapes, similar to boots.
This gold product is very exquisite and can almost be compared with later handicrafts.
On both sides, there are beautiful patterns.
Zhang Yue picked up one and weighed it. He felt that it looked like 240 or 50 grams, which was almost the same as the weight of an ordinary gold cake.
However, Zhang Yue knew that Linzhijin was of extraordinary value.
Especially the gold that the emperor personally rewards is usually worth twice as much as the gold cake on the market.
Especially those wealthy merchants, before they are about to die, they will fight to buy all the money and use the gold of the Linzhi as a burial weapon.
However, usually, few people are willing to take advantage of the Lintoe gold they hold.
Because this kind of gold is not just a currency, but actually a medal.
Except for close ministers of the emperor, favorite ministers can be given occasionally.
Linzhijin is mainly used as an imperial gift for meritorious generals and soldiers.
Zhang Yue took these Linzhijin and said to Jin Shang: "Brother Jin has worked hard all the way, please come in and drink some wine..."
"I really don't dare to ask for it!" Jin Shang also said with a smile.
So Zhang Yue took the golden prize into the elegant room of the small building and ordered an eunuch to go to the wine cellar in the backyard to get a bottle of fine wine stored in the cellar.
I have to say that Zhang Anshi had many kinds of wine in his cellar back then, and they were all treasures!
Especially there are more than 100 bottles of sake produced in Shujun, which tastes very good and does not make you feel good.
"I heard that Shizhong Zhang and His Highness Changsun are busy presenting gifts to the 47th anniversary of His Majesty's Emperor's Emperor's Emperor's Emperor..." After entering the elegant room and just sat down, Jin Shang smiled and said, "I don't know, Shizhong still lacks a servant to help him fight?"
Jin Zhuang came here, but actually robbed someone else’s errands.
In order to squeeze into this beautiful thing.
After hearing this, Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Brother Jin is a talented person. If you are willing to participate in it, Yi is really honored!"
Jin Shang nodded with satisfaction after hearing this: "I dare not give gifts to Your Majesty, this is the honor of reward!"
He must get in this car!
