Rejecting such a thing as the emperor, doing too much is no different from ordinary things.
Following Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu's refusal to accompany the queen and accept the visit of the wife, the two bluntly rejected the emperor and the queen's order to leave meals, and bluntly asked the emperor, what was the reward for Lin Chujiu
If it wasn't for the reward, how could the two of them enter the palace to meet the emperor today.
"Concubine Xiao's merit in treating the wounded soldiers, but leaving the capital privately is a demerit. The merit and demerit are equal. What reward does Tianyao want from me?" The emperor was really about to be laughed at by Xiao Tianyao.
Repeatedly rejecting his proposal, and having the face to ask him for a reward, is simply shameless.
Xiao Tianyao raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the emperor in surprise. He was sure that the emperor was serious, so he said unhurriedly: "This king's concubine left the capital privately, whose life was hurt? Whose profit was lost?"
Before waiting for the emperor to speak, he replied: "Since it didn't hurt people's lives, and it didn't harm the interests of the country, even if it was a small fault. On the contrary, this king's concubine saved the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield, benefiting the country and the people. , this is not only merit, but also great merit, shouldn't the emperor reward him?"
"Prince Concubine's departure from Beijing without an edict is to resist the decree, is it really a small thing?" The emperor sneered, with mockery in his eyes.
The Empress had previously exposed Lin Chujiu's private departure from the capital, and he was dissatisfied. Now that Xiao Tianyao mentioned it himself, don't blame him for being rude.
"When did the emperor decree that this king's concubine is not allowed to leave the capital?" Xiao Tianyao raised his eyebrows and asked.
It is a common practice that the general leads his troops and his family members are left behind in the capital. Everyone knows it well. Although the emperor did not decree that Lin Chujiu should not be allowed to leave the capital, anyone with brains should know that during Xiao Tianyao's leadership of the army, Lin Chujiu was not allowed to leave the capital.
However, based on Xiao Tianyao's current status, he is going to bite the bullet and have no will, no laws and regulations, and the emperor can't help him.
The emperor's eyes became more and more cold, and he did not answer the question, "When will the family of the prince be free to leave the capital?" Lin Chujiu is the prince's concubine. Without the emperor's will, neither the prince nor his family can leave the capital, but...
"There is no name of Lin Chujiu on the royal family tree!" Xiao Tianyao is very clear about this matter. He and Lin Chujiu were not in the capital during the Chinese New Year. No one remembers the two of them, let alone that Lin Chujiu has not Write down the royal ancestry.
He had thought about whether or not to have someone remind the emperor and write down Lin Chujiu's name, but it's okay to think about it.
Dongwen's royal ancestral genealogy, don't remember it.
The emperor frowned, and his face was a little uncomfortable. He coughed dryly: "This matter is my negligence, cough... I will order someone to open an ancestral temple and write down Princess Xiao's name."
The emperor made a mistake, and the big mistake is also a small one, not to mention that he just didn't remember his name. This is a big thing. Now that the emperor has admitted his mistake and tried to subsidize it, there is no need to mention it again.
Xiao Tianyao did not mention it again, but he did not let it go, "When the king's princess left the capital, her name was not recorded on the royal family tree. Although she had left the capital at that time, it was only a small one. Your Majesty, you said Yes or no?"
In the same sentence, Xiao Tianyao admitted that Lin Chujiu was wrong, but he only admitted that it was a small mistake, even if a small mistake was punished, it would not hurt.
However, Lin Chujiu's merit is a great merit that everyone can see. If the emperor does not reward him, Xiao Tianyao will be the first to refuse.
In order to defend against the Northern Li army, he lost 50,000 soldiers and horses, and spent millions of taels of silver. The emperor did not say a single child, and now even the reward has to be deducted.
"Xiao Guo?" The emperor sneered, staring at Xiao Tianyao with cold eyes, unsparingly releasing the emperor's coercion, trying to use the emperor's majesty to force Xiao Tianyao back.
It's not that he doesn't want to reward Lin Chujiu, but that he doesn't want to give Lin Chujiu a big reward, and if he wants to reduce the reward, he can only magnify Lin Chujiu's mistakes and minimize the credit.
"Yes, Xiao Guo." Xiao Tianyao didn't take a tough stance or show weakness, just as usual, calmly greeted the emperor's sight, neither kissing nor avoiding nor giving in.
Lin Chujiu immediately lowered her head, hiding the sarcasm and smile in her eyes.
The emperor sent this to the door to slap Xiao Tianyao in the face.
With a single force, no matter how strong the majesty of the emperor is, just relying on Xiao Tianyao's troops and horses outside the city, no matter how strong the emperor's dragon might be, he has to lower his noble head.
Sure enough, after a stick of incense, the emperor backed down and said to Lin Chujiu in a bad tone, "Princess Xiao, what reward do you want?"
The emperor couldn't help Xiao Tianyao, so he could only leave the problem to Lin Chujiu.
Lin Chujiu had long known that this would be the case, so he opened his mouth and said, "Thunderbolt and Leilu are all your kindness, but... If the emperor is willing, would you like to give me some gold and silver? You know, the emperor, when I got married, my family The dowry was generous, but... but mostly clothes, wood and jewelry."
At the end, Lin Chujiu's voice became smaller and smaller. Of course, she would not forget to look cramped, pinching the corners of her clothes or something.
"Cough cough..." Before Lin Chujiu's words fell, Xiao Tianyao coughed, and the queen opened her mouth wide and looked at Lin Chujiu as if she was looking at a monster.
Lin Chujiu, this... is this even a face
The opening directly asked the emperor to reward gold and silver, but he actually blackened Mrs. Lin Xiang again.
In the matter of marriage, Mrs. Lin Xiang cheated on Lin Chujiu, but she did not treat Lin Chujiu badly in the dowry. All the four present were qualified to say that they lacked money, but only Lin Chujiu was not qualified.
Xiao Tianyao knew even more that Lin Chujiu had spent a lot of money on Mrs. Lin Xiang before she got married. Lin Chujiu could say that there was not much gold and silver in the dowry without blushing or panting. It was really shameless!
However, he likes it.
After coughing twice, Xiao Tianyao concealed the smile on his lips under the guise of tidiing up his sleeves.
If Xiao Tianyao could find out about Mrs. Lin Xiang's money in Lin Chujiu, the emperor could also find out. The emperor also knew about it, but he didn't take it to heart.
The struggle at the back house was still in the eyes of the emperor, so he just listened to it casually. Seeing Lin Chujiu righteously saying that Mrs. Lin Xiang had given him a small amount of gold and silver, the emperor couldn't help but think of this, and immediately frowned in dissatisfaction. He swallowed the scolding that came to his mouth.
The matter that Mrs. Lin Xiang gave Lin Chujiu money in private, let alone Lin Chujiu would not admit it, even Mrs. Lin Xiang herself would not admit it.
The emperor snorted coldly, and said yin and yang strangely: "Princess Xiao really opened my eyes."
After Lin Chujiu and Xiao Tianyao came in, the emperor looked at Lin Chujiu for the first time.
Sure enough, it's not that the family doesn't enter the house, Lin Chujiu's ability to tell nonsense with his eyes open is comparable to that of Xiao Tianyao.
"Thank you for your compliment." The thick-skinned Lin Chujiu pretended that he couldn't hear the emperor's strange tone, bowed his head, and looked shy.
