Zhou Zheng's words seemed to be targeting Zhou Heng in the eyes of Emperor Guangxiao and many officials.
"Father, what King Lu said is somewhat reasonable, but the crown prince is also hardworking, so why not reward him all."
At this time Zhou Kai also stepped forward and said something.
Zhou Kai's words did not specifically target Zhou Heng, but divided the credit equally between Zhou Heng and Bai Zhanjun, which sounds like a solution that has the best of both worlds.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Zhao Wang is right."
Yu Shilin also felt that what Zhou Kai said made sense.
"I also agree that this time the Hundred Wars Army did the most credit, and I dare not take the credit." Zhou Heng also followed Zhou Kai's words.
After listening to Zhou Heng's words, Emperor Guangxiao nodded in satisfaction.
"That's good, that's good. As a prince, you don't take credit for yourself. The prince has done a good job. You should set an example for all the officials of the Zhou Dynasty." Emperor Guangxiao seemed to be very pleased with Zhou Heng's attitude.
It is really commendable for Zhou Heng to be so humble.
Zhou stared at Zhou Heng in a daze, with a lot of unwillingness in his eyes. He wanted to put all the credit on the Bai Zhanjun and make Zhou Heng useless.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Heng got a good name.
Mistake.
Although credit is a good thing, this reputation is even more good.
"My son is terrified."
Facing Emperor Guangxiao's words, Zhou Heng just replied with a word of panic, and didn't say much.
"The crown prince and the Baizhan Army both contributed to the Southern Tang incident. The crown prince also contributed to the Southern Chu incident. The crown prince contributed a lot to defeating the Southern Chu navy."
Emperor Guangxiao said.
King Yan told Emperor Guangxiao about the matter in a letter.
"Reporting to my father, King Yan has contributed the most to this matter. It was King Yan who trained my Great Zhou Navy. If it wasn't for King Yan, I would definitely not be able to defeat the Southern Chu Navy."
Zhou Heng replied.
Zhou Heng seemed to want to push away all the credit for himself. Zhou Heng's appearance made people feel that Zhou Heng wanted to clean himself up, as if the things in the southern border had nothing to do with Zhou Heng.
Yu Shilin looked at Zhou Heng, Zhou Heng was advancing by retreating, which is really wonderful.
"You have merit, there is no need to be humble. King Yan made this very clear. I am not confused yet. What should be rewarded to you should be rewarded."
Emperor Guangxiao waved his hand and said.
Zhou Hengli made contributions, and as the emperor, he naturally wanted to reward him, otherwise wouldn't it make people think that he was too harsh an emperor.
"Father, if the son wants to reward the father, then give all the rewards to the king of Yan." Zhou Heng said seriously.
"Why?"
Emperor Guangxiao didn't understand what Zhou Heng meant, and didn't understand why Zhou Heng did this.
"Father, my son was deeply touched by the battle against Southern Chu in Changde City. It is still imminent for me to establish a navy in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The navy will become the biggest reliance on the southern border of the Great Zhou. King Yan trained the navy. Although there are many difficulties, I hope my father and the court can help me."
Zhou Heng expressed his thoughts.
Navy is really an imminent thing.
If they don't have their own navy, they will be restrained and suppressed by Nanchu. Therefore, they must have what the enemy has, and the Navy cannot afford to delay.
Emperor Guangxiao looked at Zhou Heng for a moment.
"Okay, then according to the prince's words, order the court to fully cooperate with King Yan to build our Great Zhou Navy." Emperor Guangxiao also agreed.
Since Zhou Heng has said so, if he, as the emperor, disagrees, he will appear a little fatuous.
"The emperor is holy!"
Everyone kowtowed to the ground immediately. Emperor Guangxiao's decision was really great.
"It's not my sage, but the crown prince used his own merits in exchange for such an opportunity. You should learn from it." Emperor Guangxiao said lightly.
This is to remind everyone.
Don't make meritorious service and always think about reaching out to the court for benefits. Learn more from Zhou Heng, even if you have made meritorious service, you must still think about the court.
"Follow the order!"
The crowd shouted again
"Get up!" Emperor Guangxiao asked everyone to get up, and everyone got up. Emperor Guangxiao's eyes fell from Zhou Heng's body to Zhou Zhen's body, "During this period of time, I was ill and unable to govern. The king of Lu took over the government and took care of the affairs of the government, and he did things in an orderly manner. I am very relieved."
Emperor Guangxiao also praised Zhou Zheng by the way.
"Thank you, father, my son is just doing his best.? for it. "Zhou Zheng didn't expect that Emperor Guangxiao could still remember his son. Zhou Zheng thought that Zhou Heng was the queen in the eyes of Emperor Guangxiao today.
"well done."
Emperor Guangxiao continued
We talked some more.
"Everyone who loves you has something to play, and nothing to leave the court!" Emperor Guangxiao saw that the people were not talking much, so he asked them to leave the court.
"The emperor's humble minister has something to announce." Qu Xu stood up after this, and Emperor Guangxiao looked at Qu Xu, thinking that this was deliberately trying to make things difficult for him?
It was only when he retired from court that Qu Xu stood up and spoke about himself.
"What's going on?"
Emperor Guangxiao asked.
"Reporting to the emperor, what I want to talk about is about Xiyi. Now that the crown prince is returning to Chang'an, our army will not be left alone in conquering Xiyi."
Qu Xu said that this incident was not Qu Xu asking Zhou Heng for trouble, or deliberately making trouble, but a very normal thing.
At the beginning, it was Zhou Heng who led the troops to conquer Xiyi. Now that Zhou Heng is back, what about Xiyi? This matter must give a result.
Everyone looked at Qu Xu, then at Zhou Heng, and finally their eyes fell on Emperor Guangxiao.
"Well, Xiyi must have a coach. What do you think about the prince?" Emperor Guangxiao asked Zhou Heng directly. After all, Zhou Heng took the lead in this matter. Now that there is a problem, Zhou Heng will naturally come forward to solve it.
"Return to father, the minister has already prepared a countermeasure for this matter."
Zhou Heng was very confident, and said calmly, as if Zhou Heng had already made up his mind about this matter.
"explain."
Emperor Guangxiao asked Zhou Heng to talk about it.
"Father, I have a suitable candidate for the campaign against Xiyi. This person is the one I recruited in Jiange. This person has the talent of a unicorn, so he is a rare candidate for a general."
Zhou Heng decided to recommend Jiang Ai.
"The crown prince's words are too exaggerated. A general who surrendered is nothing more than a great talent. Moreover, he is a man who surrendered from the western barbarians. How can he entrust him with a heavy responsibility? What if there is a conspiracy in his heart and something goes wrong?"
Zhou Zheng asked.
"King Lu is right, but King Lu's views are too extreme. Could it be that we can't use the people of Xiyi? When we conquer Xiyi and include Xiyi into our territory, the people of Xiyi will be me. The people of the Great Zhou, we do not distinguish between each other. Besides, this person is from the western barbarians, and it is the best way to use the barbarians to control the barbarians."
Zhou Heng refuted Zhou Zheng's words.
"In addition, you can rest assured that this person is rebellious. This person is alone, surrounded by my generals of the Great Zhou, why be afraid of being alone, and we entrust this person with a heavy responsibility, which is also an attitude. As long as there is a person with talent and learning, my Da Zhou will entrust them with important tasks and treat them equally. In this way, it will definitely show my Da Zhou's magnanimity. This is a beautiful thing, and King Lu does not need to worry."
Zhou Heng waved his hand and said, Zhou Zheng's worry was not worth mentioning in Zhou Heng's view. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
