Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Man Bao waved his hand indifferently and said, "We are not military generals, so there is no need to remember this credit."

Master Tang said with a "yo" and smiled, "This is the power of siege, so you can't look down on this little power?"

The three of them grimaced, "Sen, don't make fun of us, Your Majesty is still angry with us, and the Censor's desk has written down our mistakes and is waiting to punish us."

Tang He smiled and said, "So you all know it's wrong."

He didn't teach them a lesson until he clicked, and after thinking for a while, he said: "I don't know about others, but my father is too lazy to care about such trivial matters, but I think that such small mistakes still have to be seen. Does His Majesty have the heart to pursue it?"

"It doesn't matter if it's investigated," Tang He said with a smile: "The big deal is to get you a balance of merits and demerits."

Three people: ...

The courtiers were also waiting to see whether the emperor was most angry or admired. Therefore, when the seal was opened on the eighth day of the first lunar month, when everyone came to the great court meeting, except for New Year's greetings, no one took the initiative to ask the wrong mission.

On the contrary, Man Bao took the initiative to report on the results of this trip to the Western Regions, mainly the results of the cowpox planting test.

Xiao Yuan is taking the opportunity to propose to do a vaccination test in the Huangzhuang in the suburbs, and it is still in the Huangzhuang that was tested last year.

The emperor agreed and asked the Ministry of Household to allocate a sum of money to the Tai Hospital.

This time, the Ministry of Household did not call it poor. They have already taken ninety-nine steps. After spending so much money, they have all the recipes. Now they are only one step away from the experiment. Naturally, they will not be very stingy with money.

The Ministry of Household agreed immediately, and the meeting was a little quiet, and no one spoke for a while.

The emperor lifted his eyelids to look at them and asked, "Why, there are no excerpts? After the new year, everyone will be safe."

The ministers lowered their heads slightly and said nothing.

Man Bao looked left and right, but still came out with caution, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this minister is guilty."

"Well, I see, I received your pleas early in the morning, how come you are the only one, and the others?"

Man Bao knelt down, and the guards took orders to go out and call the others in.

Although Bai Shan and the others squeezed into the embassy privately, since they have become members of the embassy and signed the book together, they naturally have to follow them into the palace. If the emperor wants to hear them admit their mistakes in person, they can also go in. admit wrong.

But I didn't expect it to be so fast, and it took only half an hour to call out.

Several people looked at each other and could only enter the hall.

Mr. Zhuang, who was last in line for the big court meeting, also came out, and followed Man Bao on his knees to admit his mistake to the emperor, saying that they were guilty of delaying a lot of time on their return journey, making the emperor and the court wait for a long time.

Seeing that they were all kneeling and admitting their mistakes, the emperor felt better and asked Wei Zhi, "Wei Qing thinks how to punish them?"

Wei Zhi thought for a while and then said: "Your Majesty, it was winter, and the journey from Shazhou to the capital was mostly bitter and cold. I think they didn't stop on purpose to delay time, the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, or the road was difficult to travel. It's normal."

He said: "After all, the mission is not an army, and it will not march as quickly as General Ashina, so it is normal for the journey to be slower."

Usually, the imperial court sent an embassy, ​​and the farther it went, the less time-critical it was.

It is normal for a mission to go out, let alone a year. It is normal for it to come back in two or three years, or even to hear back in seven or eight years. As long as the chief officer of the mission does not surrender, he is basically a qualified messenger.

Wei Zhi did not want the imperial court to pursue this matter too much, otherwise it would require too much time for the envoys, and the freedom of the envoys to be dispatched in the future would be greatly affected.

So he said: "I think that although they are wrong, they are not guilty. Since they know their mistakes, it is better for Your Majesty to reprimand them."

It means that you can scold them for a while, and there is no need to punish them. What if the envoys will take care of their heads and tails because of this matter in the future?

emperor:……

Old Master Tang also had this intention, but he felt that these children were too out of touch with naughty.

The emperor looked at the others.

The officials who were interested in impeaching Zhou Man and the others hesitated for a while as they objected and pretended to be deaf. They quietly raised their heads to look at the emperor's face, and then silently put down the papers in their hands, without impeaching them.

Those who didn't wink wanted to go out, but they were used to following the trend. This time, there were no big trees in front of them, and there were no small branches, so they didn't dare to stand up.

The emperor hummed in his heart, feeling that Baiguan was not upright at all.

Especially Wei Zhi, who provoked his mistakes in an orderly manner. If a strand of hair fell on the ground, he would be recited for a long time. Zhou Man and the others had delayed so much time on the road, but they still found reasons for them.

Thanks to the embassy, ​​if they were marching to fight, he would definitely cut them on the way.

However, when he said so in his heart, the emperor still nodded his head in agreement, "Wei Qing said very well, since you both know you were wrong, you must not do it again next time."

Man Bao breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately bowed his head to everyone.

The emperor ordered the table, reached out and picked up another envelope, "General Ashina said that you have made great achievements in this western expedition, especially Zhou Man and Bai Shan, who captured the King City of Qiuci. You two are the first ones. , what do you want?"

The emperor had asked them privately in his study before, and now he asked them again in front of the ministers at the great court meeting. Obviously, the meaning was different.

This time, everyone expressed that they were the emperor, and it was their duty to serve the court, and they did not ask for rewards.

Man Bao said sweetly, "Once again, I will do the same."

The emperor complained in his heart, but don't do it again, one time is enough for him to lose face. He prepared and waited for the reward early, and praised and praised people in front of all the ministers. Neither.

However, there is still some joy in my heart.

The emperor became serious, and handed another prepared book to Gu Zhong, and then said: "Although you delayed your return trip and made some mistakes, you should still be rewarded for your siege. Zhou Man and Bai Shan are the chief officials. Promoted Zhou Man to compile from the fourth grade for the Chongwen Museum, and gave Bai Shanjue the county son..."

The emperor was too lazy to read too much, so he gave Gu Zhong a wink, and Gu Zhong began to read them. Zhuang Xun compiled for the five products, each gave twenty taels of silver and six pieces of cloth...

When Man Bao and the others heard it, they raised their heads slightly in surprise. They thought it would be good to have a reward, but they didn't expect a title.

But this reward is less than I thought.

After Gu Zhong finished reading the book, the officials let out a sigh of relief at the same time, and then glanced sympathetically at the few people kneeling in the center of the hall.

See you at 8pm
