Great Martial Arts Auxiliary System

Chapter 123
After ten days in a row, Crown Prince Xuanyuanjing's memorial had already arrived at the court hall. At this time, Emperor Xuanyuansheng started discussing with the ministers how to reward Nangong Yulie for his meritorious service after receiving the memorial.

After some discussion, Nangong Yulie's reward was decided, the sheriff of Tianyuan County, the prefect of the state, and the county uncle of Jishui.

After announcing Nangong Yulie's reward, at this moment, the prince and Taifu stood up and said to Emperor Xuanyuansheng:
"Your Majesty Qizuo, the reason why the Southern Barbarian army retreated this time is due to one person. Has Your Majesty forgotten?"

Emperor Xuanyuan Sheng smiled and asked:

"Hehe, the Taifu was talking about that Shangguan Qiuyu?"

"Exactly," said the prince Taifu.

"Haha, how can I forget such a talented young man. The crown prince has contributed a lot this time. I am very relieved to have discovered such a talent for me, Dayu."

It was rare for Emperor Xuanyuan Sheng to praise a young man who had never been masked in front of many ministers.

This made all the ministers in the court feel very puzzled for a while.

But in the court hall, the leader of all the generals, an old man in sixty years standing at the front, but the old man with a thick back was frowning at this time, bowing his head in thought, not knowing what he was thinking.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Emperor Xuanyuan Sheng saw the doubts on the faces of all the courtiers, so he asked the crown prince Taifu to tell Shangguan Qiuyu's words in front of all the courtiers.

'When the country is in trouble, everyone is responsible.

Although I am not a loyal soldier, I still have the determination to wrap my body in horse leather.

Don't seek fame and wealth, but seek to be worthy of your heart. '

This sentence was spoken by the prince and Taifu with great vigor and vigor, which made all the generals in the court hear their blood boil.

It is also because they have a good impression of this young man who has never been masked, and they speak highly of him.

Emperor Xuanyuansheng laughed when he heard it, and then, thinking of the news from the arrest department and the prince, and knowing Shangguan Qiuyu's true identity, he was even more satisfied.

Looking down at the old general who had not spoken in the ranks of generals, he asked him:

"Old General Shangguan, how do you think Shangguan Qiuyu should be rewarded?"

The emperor's question made all the ministers stop discussing and looked at the old general in front of them.

Shangguan Xiong, the current head of the Shangguan family, one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms of the Dayu Dynasty, a single lineage of the Shangguan family.

Twenty years ago, Shangguan Yulie, the young master of the Shangguan family, somehow disappeared together with the saintess of Sanssouci Palace.

I heard that the old general Shangguan Xiong disagreed with his son being with the saintess of the Sanssouci Palace, and the Mistress of the Sanssouci Palace also disagreed with the two of them.

Later, the two eloped together. At that time, this incident can be said to have shocked the entire Yucheng.

However, the Saintess of Sanssouci Palace returned to Sanssouci Palace later, but Shangguan Yulie, the young master of the Shangguan family, did not come back.

This made the old general Shangguan turn gray all night, but he never sent anyone to find his son from the beginning to the end.

In the eyes of the old general Shangguan, his son's behavior is completely treasonous, even if Shangguan Yulie is the only heir of the Shangguan family, he is unwilling to let go of his old face and find him back.

However, if he didn't look for it, it didn't mean that others didn't look for it. The royal family, those who had enemies with the Shangguan family, and the people from hundreds of clans who were attacked and destroyed by the Shangguan family back then, they would not let go of this opportunity to make the Shangguan family die.

And the royal family does not want the Shangguan family to decline. In this way, the original Eight Pillar Kingdom will be lost in the Dayu Dynasty, and the power will change a lot. This is what the royal family does not want to see.

Moreover, the Shangguan family has been loyal to the royal family for generations, putting state affairs first in everything, and loyalty is commendable.

The reason why Shangguan Xiong, the veteran general of Shangguan back then, opposed his son's marriage was because he didn't want his family to be too deeply involved with the sect's forces, causing the emperor to be suspicious of the Shangguan family.

After so many years, seeing other old friends full of children and grandchildren, having fun at their knees, he also regretted it, but he still couldn't hold back his face.

When he heard Shangguan Qiuyu's name last time, he paid attention to it, and even sent someone to investigate.

Hearing what Shangguan Qiuyu said now, it made him think that it would be great if this son was his own grandson.

He fell into deep thought for a while, but he didn't hear Xuanyuan Sheng's question from above.

"Old Xiong, Your Majesty is calling you!"

It wasn't until the veteran in the same row beside him called him that he came back to his senses.

At this time, seeing all the officials staring at him, Shangguan Xiong hurried out, bowed and said:
"His Majesty"

Xuanyuan Sheng didn't care, Shangguanxiong was one of the three marshals of Dayu's army, but he liked being called a general.

Therefore, to show his closeness, he also called Shangguan Xiong in the same way.

"Hehe, how does the old general think he should reward that young man?"

Shangguanxiong didn't understand why Xuanyuansheng asked him so suddenly, he felt a little moved in his heart, and looked up at Xuanyuansheng, as if he saw something in Xuanyuansheng's eyes.

Suppressing the excitement in my heart, I said repeatedly:
"It's up to His Majesty to decide!"

"Hehe, the old general's words are serious, then I will not be polite." Xuanyuan Sheng said with a smile.

Immediately, Xuanyuan Sheng suddenly changed the subject and said:

"That girl Bing Yu is not young anymore, it's time to find her a husband."

Before Xuanyuan Sheng finished speaking, the prince and Taifu hurriedly ran out and interrupted:
"Your Majesty, Princess Jiu is still young, and it will not be too late in two years."

As he spoke, he kept winking at the emperor above, obviously wanting to interrupt Xuanyuan Sheng's thoughts, which made Emperor Xuanyuan Sheng very upset, but he held back what he wanted to say later.

At the same time, he gave the crown prince a hard look, thinking to himself, "Old man, if you can't tell the reason later, see if I don't deal with you." '

Seeing Emperor Xuanyuan Sheng glaring at him viciously, the old prince and Taifu also looked embarrassed and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Shangguan Xiong also gave the old lady a strange look, but he didn't say anything.

Dayu's distinction between civil and military was very specific, and he completely realized that the military did not interfere with politics, and the civil and martial arts did not matter, but the two did not have any conflicts, nor did they have any enmity.

Just now the emperor Xuanyuan Sheng obviously wanted to betroth the fifth princess Xuanyuan Bingyu to the boy whom he had not met, but the old lady Fu jumped out suddenly, which made everyone confused.

However, at this time, everyone knew that Shangguan Qiuyu was the grandson of Shangguan's old general Shangguan Xiong, which surprised everyone.

At this time, no one would talk about rewarding him, one of the Shangguan family is a single pass, even if Shangguan Qiuyu has no credit at all.

After a hundred years of Shangguanxiong, no one will compete with him for the position of duke of the country. It is a position that no one else can achieve in a lifetime.

Now the rewards are nothing but icing on the cake, they are dispensable, it depends on the emperor's wishes.

However, it seems that Emperor Xuanyuansheng is very fond of the young master of the Shangguan family who has never met.

Even his favorite princess, the Ninth Princess Xuanyuan Bingyu, was willing to give it away. This was no ordinary favor.

The original grand court meeting was disturbed by the old matriarch. After the early court ended hastily, the emperor called the old matriarch and the old general Shangguanxiong away.

A group of courtiers were left behind after discussing one by one and leaving voluntarily.
