Chapter 188 Fight for merit

Seeing Qin Shaofu walking so hard in front of the Taiwei Qin Tianen, the officials behind him all changed their faces slightly. It is rumored that this Qin family's divine military general who came from Tongling Pass did not have a good relationship with the Qin family, and it seems that what he said is true.

However, Qin Tianen did not show any displeasure, and looked calm, as if it had nothing to do with him.

The hall we entered was standing, and the civil servants and generals stood in one row.

This time, Qin Shaofu restrained himself and followed Huangfu Changqing calmly, not standing with anyone else.

After waiting for a while, the palace servant shouted, and the Emperor's Majesty Huangfu Guangming appeared at the Great Han Dynasty, walked on the dragon's throne and sat down.

"Attend Your Majesty!"

Civil and military officials bowed and performed great tribute.

After the ceremony, Huangfu Guangming waved his hand: "Xuan."

Then a palace servant stepped forward and opened the imperial edict to read it: "In the battle of Jiuding City in the northern border, Qin Shaofu, the command of Dingyuan Bo, made contributions to defeat the siege of barbarians..."

After a few words, the battle of Jiuding City was overview, and he praised Qin Shaofu's achievements in defeating the enemy.

"Qin Shaofu was granted the title of Marquis of Dingyuan, and rewarded three thousand taels of gold and fifty thousand taels of silver, and rewarded..."

A reward is an enviable amount. Especially when it is promoted to Dingyuan Marquis, it is even more jealous.

When the imperial edict was read, Qin Shaofu stepped forward and was about to thank him, he suddenly walked out of the civil servants, bowed to the ground, and shouted: "Your Majesty, I have something to do to report."

Qin Shaofu frowned immediately. He knew that Tan Wenyuan, one of the censors, also. As long as a person in this position spoke to the court, there would definitely be no good things. There is no doubt that this person would be targeting him at this time.

Huangfu Guangming looked at him with a blank expression on his face. After a while, he spoke: "Say!"

Huangfu Guangming, who was in court, was completely different from Huangfu Guangming at the family banquet.

At the family dinner, I smiled happily, just like my elders, who led to what I wanted to say through chatting and laughing.

Huangfu Guangming, who was in court, was the emperor. He was neither surprised nor happy nor angry, and was arrogant. It made people unable to see what he was thinking, but it could make people feel afraid.

After three bows from Tan Wenyuan, he spoke again: "In the Battle of Jiuding City, Dingyuan Bo killed tens of thousands of enemies, and made great contributions. This is undeniable. But I have also heard that in this battle, Dingyuan Bo used the soldiers and people of Jiuding City as bait to establish such great achievements."

"A general should protect his country and protect the people. Soldiers sacrifice their lives and shed their blood. Whenever there is a big deal, they will repay them with their lives. They should be the ones that the country treats them well."

"But Dingyuan Bo did not hesitate to kill innocent people in order to achieve success. Even if he made contributions, his fault was even greater. Please ask Your Majesty to take back the reward and punish him."

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall was silent and no one spoke. The eyes of the ministers kept wandering around Qin Tianen and Qin Shaofu.

Tan Wenyuan said he was a censor and supervisor, but he also had another identity as a student of Qin Tianen, the Grand Marshal of the dynasty.

This impeachment is not so much about Tan Wenyuan's meaning, but rather about Qin Tianen's meaning.

The Qin family's internal strife... No matter what the consequences would be, there is no doubt that this is what His Majesty the Emperor of the dynasty is willing to see.

No one spoke, as Qin Shaofu, who was impeached, was also. He knew very well what the result would be, and it was not something that Qin Tianen could decide.

The person who really makes the decision is really sitting on it. He says reward is reward, and he says punishment is punishment.

Money, official, power... He doesn't value these things that some people think are very important.

It’s not that he has a good mind, but because no matter who he is, he has seen Zhang Qiyu, Jiang Yan, and has lived with them for a while, he will not care about these things.

If you regard yourself as a real warrior, pursuing the path of immortality is the most correct goal.

If you can become an immortal of the world, not to mention the Emperor, it would be nothing if you turn over the Great Cold Dynasty and even the entire Eastern Wilderness.

Unfortunately, Huangfu Guangming didn't want him to leave his life. He looked unhappy or angry and said, "Brother Dingyuan, do you have any explanation?"

Qin Shaofu went forward to give a big gift and smiled slightly: "The first thing I want to say is that in the Battle of Jiuding City, I had only 10,000 soldiers and horses in my hand. The people in the city asked them to leave on their own before the war started, and the last thing they left was probably only 10,000."

"By the end of the war, there were still 8,000 soldiers and the people in Jiuding City. In other words, a total of 12,000 people died. At that time, there were more than 150,000 enemies who were siegeing the city, and about 150,000 were waiting behind and replaced at any time."

He looked at Qin Tianen and the military generals behind him and shouted: "It's not that I look down on many generals and elders, but I just want to ask here, if it were you, who would dare to say that the survivors would have more than eight thousand people in the end?"

A group of generals were speechless, 20,000 vs. 300,000, and most of them were recruits. It was a miracle that they could win this war.

Qin Tianen said slowly: "How many people in the city at that time are there? There is no accurate number yet. Twenty thousand and 300,000 are indeed unbelievable, but it can be done. It is precisely because you have done that today we just need to reward merits and punishments, otherwise we should take it directly and throw it into the Heavenly Prison."

Tan Wenyuan also hurriedly said: "That's right, I did not deny Yuan Bo's contributions, but felt that using his own soldiers and the people as bait was a heinous crime. If we did not punish, it would be the sorrow of the soldiers who fell and the people's pain!"

"What a soldier's sorrow!"

Qin Shaofu suddenly laughed: "It's not just the soldiers' sorrows. In my opinion, all the military generals and soldiers in the world are sorrowful and stupid. What kind of soldiers should I be a soldier? Learn to study at home and study at the censor, find ways to join the powerful ministers, and then rise to the top."

"One does not need to fight, two does not need to plow the fields, three does not need to do business in the sun and rain. If you talk here, you can gain wealth and honor and be deceiving the world. Censor, who can't sit in your position? What's the use of you to the Great Cold Dynasty?"

"You...you..." Tan Wenyuan couldn't even say anything angry.

Qin Shaofu snorted coldly: "Of course, if the Censor is willing to serve the country, he will still have a chance. According to the information, the extremely distant army of orcs in the north will arrive in the next few years. Why not just live in my Jiuding City and work together to resist the enemy?"

"allow!"

Before Tan Wenyuan could speak, Huangfu Guangming suddenly spoke.

The word "accurate" instantly made everyone confused and couldn't come back for a long time.

Qin Shaofu was also stunned and then realized that His Majesty the Emperor clearly rewarded him, but in fact he wanted to declare his great achievements. Tan Wenyuan did not say the merits, but only said that he was slapping him in the face, and he didn't know how to punish him.
