Princess Consort Is No Pushover

When Emperor Hongyuan heard the praise from all the officials, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

At this time, Emperor Hongyuan looked at the virtuous king and said, "This time, the virtuous king also contributed a lot to the water control. The virtuous king has done a lot of things in Qingzhou, and he has done a lot of work, which is very popular with the people. I decided to promote the virtuous king to Jingzhao Yin , and let him manage the public security and defense of the capital. As for Fu Yin Zhang Qing, I promoted him to be Minister of the Ministry of Industry, do you have any objections?"

Chu Xuanchen narrowed his eyes slightly, he was very calm, it was a matter of time before the emperor wanted to support the virtuous king.

As for Zhang Fuyin, this is an obvious promotion and a secret surrender. The minister of the Ministry of Industry is just a false position and has no real power.

It seemed that the emperor really wanted to get rid of his arm.

Seeing what the emperor said, all the officials knew that the emperor had made up his mind, so how could they dare to object.

The greatest hero for water control is obviously Li Wang, but the emperor rewards the virtuous king heavily, which is a bit too partial.

They immediately shook their heads, "The emperor is wise, and the subjects have no objection."

The Xian King immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "I thank the Lord for your kindness. This time, there is one of the biggest contributors to the water control, and she is Princess Li. She is pregnant with Liujia, and she traveled with us to Jiangzhou. Princess Li is knowledgeable and smart. , Thanks to the method of adjusting the storage pond that she came up with, this water control can be successful."

Emperor Hongyuan nodded, "Well, I have already seen Princess Li's ability. King Li, this time you and your wife have made great contributions to water control, and I will reward you. But you are already the king of the great general who protects the country, and the highest officer in the army. Kesheng. I heard that you gave birth to two children yesterday, so I will give each of them a piece of land, and ten boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, and silk, how about that?"

Emperor Hongyuan heard last night that Chu Xuanchen had given birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins, but the child was born with fetal poison, so it was difficult to survive, so it was okay to reward them with two fiefdoms.

When the time comes, he will ask someone to pick two pieces of wasteland as rewards, which will not only block the mouths of many people, but will not strengthen Chu Xuanchen's power.

"Thank you, Lord Long En." Chu Xuanchen said.

The fiefdom bestowed by the emperor must be a barren land, not to mention useless, it is estimated that it will be used upside down.

But he doesn't care about these, as long as the emperor doesn't take advantage of the problem, it's fine to attack him.

After retreating from the court, as soon as Chu Xuanchen walked out of the Golden Luan Hall, all the officials rushed up to him and praised him.

"His Royal Highness Li stayed here. This time, it is really thanks to you and your wife. In the past, many people were drowned and displaced due to floods in the south of the Yangtze River every year. Fortunately, Princess Li came up with this method to save everyone."

"Li Wang not only paid for the disaster relief out of his own pocket this time, but also ordered his men to go to neighboring countries to buy two batches of grain. Thanks to his grain, the price of grain in the south of the Yangtze River can be stabilized and the people in famine can be saved."

"Both King Li and King Xian are doing practical things for the common people, so that the common people can live and work in peace and contentment, and benefit the generations to come. It is our Chu Kingdom's fortune!"

Hearing these compliments, Chu Xuanchen bowed his hands politely to everyone, "Everyone is too praised, this is my duty."

"My lord, you are so humble. If you hadn't deployed ahead of time and strategized, Jiangzhou would be in danger!"

"My lord is confident, courageous and resourceful, I admire you."

Eunuch Xu heard all these compliments, and he quickly told Emperor Hongyuan.

After hearing this, Emperor Hongyuan slapped his hands on the table angrily, "These people eat all kinds of things, they eat the king's salary, and they praise King Li so much. Does he, Chu Xuanchen, dare to go past me?"
