Chapter 165: Reward
Hao Fenglou smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Majesty is really wise. Your Majesty has seen through this little thought. Others say that Your Majesty is as wise as a torch, but I only know it now."
It is another trick, deliberately showing his cleverness, so that he can see through it. There must be a certainty here, not too fake or too real.
Zhu Di hesitated for a moment and said, "A hundred more is sold every month, and the court will punish you. Do you understand? I have agreed to this matter. I know it is not easy for you. I see a good knife, but there must be your blood and sweat behind this good knife. I can't see these, but I can understand them. Of course, you must also understand me. After all, what you see is only the interests of your weaving bureau, but I must look at the world and take the overall situation. I cannot leave any disaster because of your benefits. Let's just do this. No bargaining is allowed."
One hundred are enough for Haofenglou. In fact, this is the case in the market. The fewer it is on the market, the higher the profits may be. Haofenglou will not worry about not being able to sell at a good price.
Zhu Di said: "Okay, I want to ask the prince and the King of Han to come in and talk to each other. You... retreat."
Hao Fenglou was stunned and said all this? This is not kind, and he is still waiting for a double reward. Are you finished now?
Hao Fenglou was a little confused whether he should remind him or not, so he was afraid that he would forget it. After all, Zhu Di has never been a kind person, but just reminder, it seems that he is too petty and petty.
Seeing that Hao Fenglou refused to leave, Zhu Di couldn't help but say, "Why, why haven't you surrendered?"
Hao Fenglou said shyly: "This, Your Majesty, I have important things to report."
Seeing that Hao Fenglou was speaking seriously, Zhu Di couldn't help but cheer up: "You said!"
Hao Fenglou said, "Your Majesty, this time the hero guards who were fighting against the Japanese against His Majesty is fighting with the Japanese. Should I be rewarded?" Hao Fenglou thought silently and rewarded me by the way.
Zhu Di smiled and said, "Of course I know I want to reward you. Do you want you to remind me? Don't worry, I will give you generously, and you won't worry about it."
Still never mention his reward. Hao Fenglou even suspected that this guy was just a debtor. Hao Fenglou took a deep breath and said, "It's because of the empress, Meng Lang, but if there is a 'reward', there will be a punishment. If there is a merit, there will be a 'reward', and it is not a minor matter to give me meritorious ministers. Your Majesty must think carefully and never take it lightly. My Majesty thinks that Zhu Neng and others live and die together with Your Majesty, and should pay attention to the 'reward'. Jianwen will do something wrong. In the end, he will be the 'reward'.
He analyzed the gains and losses, and felt that the biggest mistake was that the "reward" and punishment was unclear. Seeing Your Majesty today, I was so excited that I was overly excited. Maybe I talked a little too much, so I would like to understand Your Majesty. However, when it comes to "reward", I thought that more than the twenty-nine heroes were received this time? Even Eunuch Zheng was trying his best to cheer for Your Majesty. Although he was useless, he worked hard. Your Majesty also "reward" him."
Hao Fenglou said more than a dozen words of "reward" in one breath, and he couldn't help but burst into tears. He was a dignified saint of love, the Shenwu Guard and the Jinyiwei Qianhu, the son of the earl, and the hero of Jingnan. Now he is as high as the migrant worker who is asking for wages. He really can't live this life.
I don’t know if Zhu Di heard the other words of Hao Fenglou, and said: “Yes, you need to reward merits, and punish me for your mistakes. I should be wary of Jianwen’s lesson. Don’t worry, I will not blame you. You are sincere, so how can I be punished? Okay, take your leave quickly. Thank you for your hard work these days. Only after a good sleep can I be energetic for my work.”
"Your Majesty..." Hao Fenglou stretched his tail and said in grief: "Does the previous gambling bet count?"
Now that things have come, Hao Fenglou has no choice but to break the skylight and speak loudly.
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, savored carefully, and said, "Oh, it turns out that you have gone through so many twists and turns to reward you. Alas, why didn't you say it earlier? A man is so unhappy and he speaks, and he is a bit arrogant to learn the style of those pedantic scholars."
Hao Fenglou's tears were almost coming out, but he had become a thin-skinned scholar instead.
Zhu Di became serious and said, "Speaking of this, you have indeed made great contributions, so you should naturally be rewarded. I originally thought about thinking about it in a few days. Since you have asked, then in order to make you feel at ease, I will plan for you today."
Zhu Di held his chin and fell into deep thought, and said for a long time: "Your father is an earl. If you were granted the title of you for your merits, the first and second uncles would be considered prominent, but how many sons do you have in your family?"
Hao Fenglou said: "There are three generations of Wei ministers who pass on their own."
Zhu Di smiled bitterly and said, "It's not easy to deal with. Since it's a single pass, then your father's title will be yours sooner or later. You are the son of the uncle. If you are named another earl, wouldn't it be an extravagant move? Well, I'll think about it again."
After thinking about it, Zhu Di said again: "What better to entrust your father to be a marquis?"
Hao Fenglou said: "Your Majesty, why do you always reward your father for your achievements? I am afraid that this is inappropriate, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public. Others can gossip, but Wei is thin-skinned and can't stand gossip."
Hao Fenglou was a little unhappy, and the reason for not being happy was very simple. It was like working hard, but the boss told himself that the money was given to your father. Anyway, your father's money would still be yours sooner or later. The reason is certainly true, but it just makes people feel a little depressed.
Zhu Di said: "That's right, then I'll give you a title."
Hao Fenglou smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't this a waste? Your Majesty, I am already a uncle, and the only one-line in my family is passed down from generation to generation..."
Zhu Di widened his eyes and said, "What's the reason for this? No left or right, is it still bargaining with me?"
Hao Fenglou said patiently: "I don't dare."
Zhu Di couldn't help laughing, and his eyes fell on the knife on the imperial desk again. Seeing the knife, Zhu Di's face softened: "No matter what, you have indeed made great contributions, and I do owe you a favor, so let's give it a compromise. I ordered your father to be a marquis. Well, marquis of ten thousand households, and give him another fiefdom, how about it?"
"Finding..." Hao Fenglou was really excited this time. Finding was definitely a noble thing in the Ming Dynasty. The emperor really wanted to give it to him? No, when did the Ming Dynasty have such rules? This is obviously a violation of the ancestral teachings. The emperor is not afraid of arousing dissatisfaction among all officials?
However, since he had spoken, and Jun Wu said without joking, Hao Fenglou hurriedly: "Your Majesty is wise, I thank you."
Zhu Di smiled: "Okay, okay... there's no need to be polite, wait for good news at home, well, the imperial edict will be issued soon. Remember to send a knife every month, do you understand?"
Hao Fenglou's body shook, and the turtle's energy scattered everywhere, and he had a future. The Qianhu family was already a fiefdom, so he hurriedly said, "I remember it."
After saying that, Hao Fenglou finally said goodbye with satisfaction.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
After coming out of Fengtian Hall, the ministers had already dispersed. Only the prince and the king of Han were here to see each other. They were talking and laughing outside the hall, and they seemed very enthusiastic.
Hao Fenglou only vaguely heard the prince say that if the emperor misses Zhanji, he would rush to my palace to send it to me tomorrow...
Hao Fenglou showed no expression, and pretended that he had heard nothing, he came out to bow to the two of them, saying, "Your Majesty, please come in and see you."
The pair of brothers with different ulterior motives nodded to Hao Fenglou and hurried in with different expressions.
Hao Fenglou breathed out and was done. This time he made great contributions and the rewards were completely beyond his expectations. He was waiting for him with his hands behind his back. At this time, someone called him: "Senior Brother, Senior Brother..."
Hao Fenglou stopped, Zheng He had already walked over and said, "Senior Brother, I ask you something. You will go to see your mentor tomorrow. I have a few articles here, and I will ask the master to proofread it."
As he said that, Zheng He took out half a stack of paper manuscripts and handed them to Hao Fenglou. Hao Fenglou looked at the manuscript and couldn't help but shake his head. Why didn't his mentor ask himself to do his 'homework'? This is biased. He said he was a mentor, but he didn't see him teaching me anything. However, Zheng He was so worried about his guidance, but his expression was normal and he responded: "It's easy to say, I'll send it tomorrow."
Zheng He then bowed and said, "To be honest, congratulations to senior brother. Senior brother has made another great contribution, which is a joyful congratulation."
Hao Fenglou said modestly: "Where, where, the blind cat just met a dead mouse, my junior brother won the award."
Zheng He lowered his voice and said, "When the two high men spoke, they talked about Annan."
Hao Fenglou knew that Zheng He looked loyal but not stupid, and would never talk to him about anything irrelevant. This is the palace, after all, it is inconvenient to speak. Hao Fenglou said, "Well, Annan? What's wrong with Annan?"
Zheng He said: "Your Majesty intends to conquer Annan. Now all aspects are preparing. Look at the prince's intention to hope that His Highness of Han will go to Annan. However, the King of Han naturally refused. He told him a few jokes and then revealed it."
Zheng He looked at Hao Fenglou deeply and said, "I know that the senior brother has a good relationship with the King of Han. The King of Han's intention is to follow His Majesty and he will never leave half a step. Since the prince deliberately mentioned it, he would definitely not give up so easily. The King of Han may not be able to withstand it. Senior brother, make plans long ago."
Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "Although His Highness and His Highness the King of Han are acquainted, their relationship has not reached this point yet. The matter of chasing Annan has nothing to do with me. Just love whatever you love."
Zheng He also smiled and said, "Anyway, I'm just reminding my senior brother, I'll just consider it myself."
Hao Fenglou thanked him, and the two bid farewell. Hao Fenglou was in a good mood and left the palace in a swaying manner.
