Xu Wenlan's reward was relatively fair. The emperor made an exception and rewarded him as a third-rank General Zhaoyong, and ordered him and the Women's Army to continue to guard the border and resist foreign enemies.

Not every brother can become Xu Wenlan.

Although a small number of diehards still opposed Xu Wenlan's conferment, they didn't want to set a precedent, and even suggested that Xu Wenlan's achievements should be rewarded to Ning Anhou's other sons.But Xu Wenlan himself has meritorious service, and many ministers in the court, including the king of Chu, are willing to defend him, and most of them agree that the emperor can grant Xu Wenlan an official position.

Xu Wenlan was named a general, although he was old, there was an endless stream of people who went to the Marquis of Ning'an to propose marriage, and he was so happy that the wife of the Marquis of Ning'an seemed to be rejuvenated.

Mrs. Ning'anhou thought that Xu Wenlan's marriage was about to come to an end, but found that the people who proposed to Xu Wenlan all went for his official position or Ning'anhou's mansion behind him. This was as expected However, each of these candidates has its own flaws and faults, which made Mrs. Ning Anhou dissatisfied.

Mrs. Ning Anhou was not happy for a few days, and began to worry again.

Especially after rejecting many unsuitable marriages, and after rumors began to circulate in the capital that Xu Wenlan killed people like chopping melons and chopping vegetables, killing people without blinking an eye, and being a brother and devil, Mrs. Ning Anhou's mentality collapsed.

What kind of evil did she do? She married an incomprehensible husband-in-law, and raised a good brother to become a murderer. Not to mention, she is in her twenties, and she still can't get married.

Thinking of recruiting a new wife, Mrs. Ning'an Hou had a flash of inspiration and gave up the idea of ​​choosing a tall man among the poor.

If Xu Wenlan can't get married, she can find a wife for him. In the future, the family will be separated and it will be no different from marrying off her elder brother.No matter whether Xu Wenlan likes a boy with a handsome face or a strong body, she can find him for him.

Mrs. Ning'an Hou made up her mind to choose a suitable candidate for Xu Wenlan, and Xu Wenlan must get married within a year.

The emperor told Pei Shangshu that he would give Pei Qi a reward. Although it was a joke, it was also a golden word.It's just that what Pei Qi did can't be promoted on the bright side. It happened that Zhao Zhuxin was in the capital, so the emperor found an excuse and rewarded Zhao Zhuxin with some of the Four Treasures of the Study.

When the eunuch who sent the reward came to the Zhao residence, the old man Zhao hurriedly taught Zhao Zhuxin to thank him.

Fortunately, Pei Han and Pei Xu from the Pei Mansion next door came to help in time, otherwise the old man Zhao would not know how to send the father-in-law away from the palace.

Because of Pei Qi's funding of Xu Wenlan, Pei Shangshu reprimanded Zhao Shutong and Pei Qi's letter, which arrived earlier than Zhao Zhuxin's happy letter to Pei Qi.

This was one of the few times that Pei Qi was scolded by his father. Although Pei Qi felt a little guilty, his guilt was because he almost got his father involved, and he had no regrets about funding Xu Wenlan.

The emperor personally issued a decree to seal General Xu Wenlan, then they will win.This is the first of its kind, and maybe there will be brothers who will become generals or officials in the future.

Zhao Shutong didn't have any bad intentions to puncture Pei Qi's optimistic thoughts. In people's hearts, there is still some hope and some goals.It may take hundreds of years to achieve this goal, but if nothing is done now, people hundreds of years from now may still be living today.

The battlefield did not advance to the territory of Daqi, and the lives of the people in the northwest were not greatly affected.

It's not yet time for performance evaluation. Recently, Zhao Shutong got the news from Shangguan that corn will soon be promoted to the Northwest. He will stay in Ganlong County to promote corn and cannot return to Beijing for the time being.At the beginning, Ganlong County was almost wiped out because of the corn disaster, so it was very resistant to planting corn again.When Zhao Shutong promoted corn, he did not force every household to participate.The promotion of new crops is a matter of taking measures step by step and adapting to local conditions. He dared not threaten the people of Ganlong County despite his political achievements.

Every kind of crop will inevitably suffer from diseases and natural and man-made disasters. For the common people, if they only grow one kind of crop, their ability to resist risks will be greatly reduced.

The imperial court promoted the newly developed corn, although it was for his high yield, but because corn was a new type of crop, it did not have excessive tax requirements.

Zhao Shutong just publicized the benefits of growing corn, and had someone introduce the latest corn research results of Sinongsi.If you don't want to, you won't be forced to do so.

Because of Zhao Shutong's attitude, the people of Ganlong County knew from some merchants that the county magistrate discovered the corn at the beginning, but the former county magistrate took the county magistrate's credit because he was the emperor's brother-in-law. go.The former county magistrate was afraid that the magistrate would take back the credit for the corn, so he forced the people in his county to grow corn.Fortunately, the emperor was very aware of the matter and found out about this matter. After the former county magistrate fell down, he returned the credit to the magistrate.

Out of trust in the county magistrate, many farmers in Ganlong County tried to plant three or two acres.

With these people who have tried, and when everyone sees the benefits, Zhao Shutong believes that more and more people will be willing to grow corn.

The Northwest War was in danger, and they couldn't return to Beijing. Pei Qi thought, "Husband, should we bring father-in-law and little sweet potato back?"

Such a big child left them suddenly, and Pei Qi was still very worried about missing Little Sweet Potato.

Without Little Sweet Potato, he doesn't even have anyone to tease.

"It's a long way from the capital to Ganlong County, and we'll be returning to Beijing in the next two years. Now that Dad and Little Sweet Potato have gone back, don't let them come here again, so as not to cause any accidents on the way. Father-in-law said that he would find something for Little Sweet Potato. The teacher taught him that Little Sweet Potato has reached the age to enter school, let him learn from the master." Zhao Shutong said, no matter how healthy Zhao Zhuxin and his father are for such a long journey, they can't stand the toss.

Pei Qi mourned the poor little sweet potato in his heart, and decided to write more letters to his son in the future.

Little friend Zhao Zhuxin in Beijing didn't know, he couldn't wait for his father and mother to pick him up.

When the Qiang envoys went to Beijing, the emperor recalled King Chu and Marquis Ning An to the capital, and wanted to reward them for their merits, so Xu Wenlan followed them back to Beijing.

The emperor and the king of Chu haven't seen each other for five years, and they can only rely on memorials and letters to connect their feelings. When they meet again, the two brothers are a little excited.

The emperor lamented that he hadn't seen him for several years, and the king of Chu hadn't changed, he was still tall and strong.

But the king of Chu said that the emperor seems to have gained weight.

The emperor said that the king of Chu was out of tune and wanted to choose a concubine for the king of Chu, and find someone to take care of him, but the king of Chu quickly refused, "Brother emperor, don't mess with the mandarin ducks. The younger brothers are almost 30 years old, those fifteen or sixteen-year-old I can be a father to them, and I can't get along with them."

"You are only 27, less than [-], don't look old-fashioned. You don't like young people, do you like older people?" The emperor looked at King Chu teasingly.

The king of Chu's ears are a little red, and it is better to be older. They can understand each other's ideas and it is not easy to quarrel and stumble.

"But you have a sweetheart? You can tell whoever you like, and a big man will show it to anyone." Seeing the appearance of a young boy who has just begun to fall in love with the king of Chu, the emperor said with contempt.

His eldest son is almost at the age of understanding human affairs, but his younger brother is still so innocent.

"Forget it, let's do it."

"Whose family, if you like it, it doesn't matter if your status is lower." The emperor was very understanding, and in order to let this older royal man get out of the order, even if the other party's status was not high, he would be accommodating.

"His identity is a bit special." King Chu stammered.

How special can an ordinary man or woman be, is it even more special than the royal family.

"He is engaged, or remarried?"

King Chu shook his head.

It is very rare for the emperor to be shy once in a while, but if he is too shy, it is artificial and hypocritical.The emperor was about to go crazy and ask the king of Chu to recruit him, when suddenly something flashed through his mind, "Do you like my new General Zhaoyong or not?"

"Brother Huang, you are really wise and mighty, you can see what my younger brother is thinking."

The emperor hesitated, "I haven't married yet at this age, General Zhaoyong may have some hidden illness."

"Brother Huang, don't talk about it. If you spread the word about Xu Wenlan's hidden illness, the little brother's reputation will be even worse. He is self-motivated, and after learning some skills, he wants to serve the country as a general. Fortunately, he made it, and didn't let so much money go to waste."

"I said you have a lazy temper. Why did you urge me to give him a reward in two or three memorials? I thought you were praising your talent, but I didn't expect you to be thinking about it. A brother like General Zhaoyong is ambitious, and he won't Those who are willing to stay in the backyard, you can't control them."

Furthermore, the king of Chu held the troops to suppress the west, and several generations of the Marquis of Ning'an were stationed in the northwest. The two families were married, and they were very powerful in the northwest, so the emperor would not be able to sleep peacefully.When he was in power, he could trust his younger brother's character, but when his son came to power, Chu Palace would become a threat to the new emperor.

The emperor didn't want his son to fight with his younger brother. In order to protect both parties, he was not very happy about this marriage.

"Brother Huang, it's not always necessary for a husband and wife to live a life where one side dominates the other. If they can live a happy life, they will be confused for the rest of their lives. The princess is competitive and wants to make achievements, which is not a shortcoming. If we can really succeed, he It is doing meritorious service for our royal family, maybe in the future, the king and the princess can go to the battlefield and fight side by side."

The King of Chu was hesitant when he saw the emperor, "I was so busy discussing private matters with my brother that I forgot about the business. I came here to return the tiger talisman of the Zhenxi Army. Five years ago, I was ordered to sit in the northwest when I was in danger. Now the banditry in the northwest has basically subsided. There are a few fish that slip through the net, and the local garrison can handle them by themselves, and there is no need for the younger brother to go to the northwest. Speaking of which, when the younger brother and the emperor brother were still princes, and the younger brother wanted to join the army, it was the emperor brother who worked so hard to help The younger brother planned it from the emperor, and the younger brother swore at that time that he would protect Daqi Jiangshan and you, the emperor brother. Now that the prosperous age is dawning, the younger brother hopes that he will never have the chance to go to the battlefield again."

The king of Chu didn't want his own existence to threaten his brother's rule. When they were still princes, they supported each other and depended on each other. It didn't make sense that the whole world belonged to his brother, so they couldn't share wealth.

The emperor looked at the tiger talisman handed over by the King of Chu, "You must be General Zhaoyong."

"Chendi is not an emotional person. Without General Zhaoyong, he wouldn't have to live or die. I just think that with this person, the future will be very interesting."

"It's up to you, Zhenxi Army, I will send another person to take over."

King Chu's eyes lit up, "Then what's my business with the princess?"

"I will arrange for you to stay together." The emperor originally wanted Xu Wenlan to marry into the royal family so that he would not go to the battlefield to show his face again, but the stupid brother still wanted to go to the battlefield with his concubine.He doesn't want to marry the princess, he wants to marry a brother and comrade-in-arms.

If he doesn't agree to the matter between him and General Zhaoyong, my younger brother won't learn to chase men with the grandson of Jia'an County Lord in the future.For the face of the royal family, the emperor gritted his teeth and agreed.

He is already the emperor, and he can let his younger brother live as he wants.

A few days ago, he just issued an order for General Zhaoyong to guard the border. The order cannot be changed overnight. After his younger brother gets married, he will stay in the Northwest for a few years. The emperor has a stress response to the Northwest. It will be the next Yan Yugui and Liu Jingzhao."

"Brother Emperor, you actually compare me with those unworthy guys?" The King of Chu looked at the Emperor in disbelief, and then said relentlessly, "I have been in the Northwest for five years, suppressing thousands of bandits and suppressing three county riots. There has never been anything wrong, how can they compare with me."

Brother Huang has bad eyesight, so he sent some garbage to the northwest, and the people in the northwest thought that he deliberately let his brother-in-law harm them.

He should have been considerate of the emperor.

But now I don't want to be considerate at all, why should those trash compare with him.

The emperor looked at the troubled younger brother with a headache, he was just reminding him before it happened, you look like a sergeant who can be killed but not humiliated, who are you pretending to be, believe it or not, I will not give you a marriage.

Hearing Brother Huang talk about bestowing marriage, King Chu remembered that he hadn't communicated with Ning'an Hou Mansion yet, and he didn't know if that stubborn brother was willing or not.

The king of Chu resisted the emperor's contemptuous eyes and asked the emperor not to give him a marriage.Wait until he has settled Xu Wenlan, and then come to ask for an order.
