The best comprehension maniac

After Nangong Ao was captured, it meant that this war was completely over. There was no so-called winner and no so-called loser. As the enemy fled, the Xiangxiang Kingdom's army quickly regained the lost ground.

But the war caused a major disaster to the Xiangxiang Kingdom. These cities and even some small villages that had been occupied by the Nanyan team had long been razed to the ground and were no longer suitable for human habitation. Moreover, due to the war, Xiangxiang

The country suffered heavy casualties, both in terms of soldiers and civilians.

Therefore, Xiangxiang Kingdom did not win this war.

After driving the enemy out of Xiangxiang Kingdom and regaining the lost territory, Le Shitong ordered his troops to return to the court. During this period, a month had passed.

One day a month later, the ministers went to court as usual, but today it was a little different because Nan Yan Kingdom sent envoys to prepare for peace negotiations.

In the Linfeng Palace, Queen Shuixiang sat majestically on the dragon chair, and the ministers also had a calm and calm posture. No ministers from other empires had come to Xiangxiang Kingdom for a long time, so they naturally had to put on their best posture.

To show the majesty of Xiangxiang Kingdom.

"Eunuch Kui, have the envoys from Nanyan Kingdom arrived?" Queen Shuixiang asked softly.

Eunuch Kui nodded hurriedly and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, the envoy from Nanyan Kingdom has been waiting outside the palace for a long time. Do you want to announce his entry?"

"There's no rush." ​​Queen Shuixiang smiled lightly and said, "It won't be too late to announce him after I've finished discussing his merits and rewards."

"Old slave, I understand." Eunuch Kui nodded and stepped aside.

Queen Shuixiang glanced at the military attaches and generals present, and said with a smile: "This time we were able to defeat the army of Nanyan Kingdom and recover the lost territory. This is thanks to the concerted efforts of all the beloved ministers. I will reward you based on my merits today... First of all, follow my imperial commander to conquer in person.

Each of the ministers has five hundred pieces of silk and two thousand taels of silver."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live my emperor." The ministers immediately knelt on the ground to express their gratitude.

Queen Shuixiang nodded with satisfaction and said: "The next person who should be rewarded is my Prime Minister Le Shitong Le Aiqing..."

Before the Queen finished speaking, Master Wen stood up sideways and said, "Your Majesty, I have this memorial."

Queen Shuixiang's beauty twitched slightly, a little displeased, but she still waved her hand and said, "Master, what do you want me to do?"

Wen Zhiruo glanced at Le Shitong coldly and said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember the agreement you made with Wei Chen?"

"This..." Queen Shuixiang was slightly startled. She had actually forgotten this incident. At the beginning, she had promised Master Wen that as long as Master Wen sent out the Red Sect to assist the court in defeating the enemy, Prime Minister Le Shitong would

He must resign from all positions including the Grand Marshal of the Army.

Grand Master Wen smiled slightly and said: "Since your Majesty has not forgotten, I would like to ask your Majesty to immediately issue an order to remove Le Xiang from all positions and hand over military power."

Queen Shuixiang's face changed slightly, and she was really angry this time. She was talking about merit and rewards, and this Wen Zhiruo really didn't pick up any of the pots. Didn't this make it impossible for her as an empress to step down?

"Your Majesty." At this moment, Lin Tian stood up and said with a smile: "Prime Minister Le has worked hard and made great achievements. Without her, our empire would not have won this war. Even if we had to resign from all her posts,

But meritorious ministers must be rewarded, otherwise who will be willing to serve the court in the future?"

Le Shitong was slightly startled. She was ready to step down from all her duties, but Lin Tian stood up and spoke for her. This was something she did not expect.

Lin Tian solved the knot in Queen Shuixiang's heart with just a few words. He smiled faintly and said, "General Lin's words are very popular with me. Yes, I must reward ministers who have meritorious service... Marshal Le Shitong is here this time.

He made great contributions in fighting against the enemy forces of Nanyan Kingdom, and was rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold, 5,000 pieces of silk and satin, and was also granted the title of King Pingnan..."

All the ministers were surprised, because in the history of Xiangxiang Kingdom, very few people could be crowned kings. Not to mention the relatives of the emperor, there were almost no people with foreign surnames who could be crowned kings. In this dynasty, even Shuixiang

The queen's biological sister, Shui Ya, was only a right-hand prime minister and had never been named king.

It can be seen how much Empress Shuixiang relies on Le Shitong.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Le Shitong accepted the order to thank him, but without any hesitation, he said: "How can a humble minister, He De, accept such a great reward from your majesty? I am sure that your majesty will take back the order. In addition, I also plan to resign from all positions.

, retire and return home.”

Queen Shuixiang seemed to have expected that Le Shitong would say this, and followed Le Shitong's words and said: "Okay, I will grant my permission, but I will stick to my word and I will not take back what I said. From now on, you will

Prince Pingnan, you can find a piece of land to build the Prince of Nanping's palace anywhere in Xiangcheng and enjoy peace and happiness."

Queen Shuixiang naturally didn't want Le Shitong to retire and return home. Her reforms needed Le Shitong's support. But now that Master Wen was so aggressive, she had to make concessions, so she agreed to Le Shitong's resignation, but she

She will never let Le Shitong leave her sight and can be called anytime and anywhere.

Le Shitong naturally understood what the Queen meant and hurriedly thanked her and said, "I obey the order."

The corner of Taishi Wen's eyes twitched slightly. She is such a smart woman. How could she not see that this was a scene between the Queen and Le Shitong?

However, she didn't care. As long as she squeezed Le Shitong out of the court, the Wen family would have the final say in the court from now on.

So Taishi Wen hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, since King Pingnan has resigned from the post of Marshal of Arms and Horses, this army must not be without a commander for a day. Can a new Marshal of Arms and Horses be selected?"

"What the Grand Master said is true." Queen Shuixiang nodded and said: "But the position of marshal is very important and must not be taken lightly... How about we have a martial arts competition to choose the marshal?"

The meaning of the Queen of Water Fragrance is very clear, that is, those who are capable will live there.

Taishi Wen didn't make any mistakes and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this plan is very clever. Let's have a martial arts contest to choose the leader."

Wen Zhiruo was very confident, because there were many talented military generals among the Wen family, and they could definitely defeat other generals and obtain the position of marshal.

"Your Majesty is wise." All the ministers also agreed.

"Okay, the competition will be scheduled for three days later." Queen Shuixiang nodded with satisfaction and said: "I will reward one last person, and that is Lin Tianlin, who went deep behind the enemy's rear during the war and cut off the enemy's food and grass supply.

General."

"Your Majesty is serious, this is what a general should do." Lin Tian smiled modestly, but then said: "However, this reward must not be less, I have worked very hard."

Cluck…….

Lin Tian's words caused all the ministers in the court to burst into laughter.

Queen Shuixiang was also very happy, and then smiled and said: "General Lin, what are you talking about? I said I would reward you, so naturally it will be no less." (To be continued...)
