Chapter 151 My 26 Male Servant 26

Concubine Jiang grinned and said, "Thank you for your hard work, mother. I put the palace in good order while you were away."

Yao Shu scratched Jiang Fei Leng's nose and praised: "Fei Leng is really good, Fei Leng is so good, and the Queen Mother did not let Fei Leng down. The Queen Mother conquered several large cities in the Chu State as Fei Leng's fiefdom, okay?"

"Okay!" Jiang Feileng put her arms around Yao Shu's neck, their foreheads touched, and the happy mother and son were immersed in joy.

After Yao Shu and Jiang Fei finished their cold and affectionate talk, she glanced at the people who came to greet her and found that Meng Qianqiu was not there.

Jiang Fei Leng suddenly lowered her head and said guiltily, "Mother Queen, I am sorry for you. In order not to distract you on the battlefield, I had someone conceal the fact that Lord Meng had passed away."

Yao Shu pretended to force a smile and choked up, "It's okay, Fei Leng was just thinking about the overall situation, it wasn't intentional."

Concubine Jiang raised her head coldly, her eyes filled with tears as she apologized, "Mother, I'm sorry for not taking good care of your servant."

Yao Shu shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Fei Leng, don't be sad. The Queen Mother knows that you have tried your best."

Fu Beimin looked slightly respectful, but the corners of his mouth rose inadvertently, and he quickly stopped looking sad and said, "Your Majesty, please accept my condolences. The deceased is gone."

Yao Shu tilted her head to look at Fu Beimin, feeling deeply moved that Fu Beimin was in great health, as he was still alive after being close to the Night Pearl for so long.

Yao Shu asked the pretending dead system 666: "When will Fu Beimin die?"

[From what we can see now, Fu Beimin's body is already full of radiation and he won't live long.]

Yao Shu felt relieved after hearing this. She couldn't let a man rule the country alone where women were superior, otherwise her job satisfaction would not be high.

Yao Shu nodded, and then asked, "Has Mr. Meng Guijun's body been buried?"

"Your Majesty, I have already sent someone to bury you in your mausoleum."

"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Feng." Yao Shu said with relief. Meng Zuoxi's only child was not treated well, and she was afraid that Meng Zuoxi would turn to Jiang Lu.

Yao Shu said to everyone, "Please disperse first. You all have been waiting for me to return to Beijing. I will treat you all to a grand celebration banquet tonight."

"Yes."

Yao Shu put Jiang Fei Leng down and told her husband Bei Min to take good care of Jiang Fei Leng. Gu Yuan, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Yao Shu with tears in her eyes and said sadly: "Your Majesty, you are finally back. I missed you so much."

Yao Shu patted Gu Yuan's back and consoled him, "Okay, stop crying. I'm back, right?"

Gu Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry when hearing this: "This slave is crying for joy and can't help it."

Yao Shu smiled but said nothing when she heard this. When she returned to the Yangxin Palace, she saw Qi An cleaning the table. Qi An immediately stepped forward to salute Yao Shu and said happily, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you and congratulate you on your triumphant return."

Upon seeing this, Le Xin bowed to Yao Shu, then went to the back hall, brought hot tea, placed it on the table, and stood quietly aside.

"No need to be polite. I have yet to write an imperial edict to promote those meritorious officials. Send someone to bring me the cloth I will use to issue the edict."

"Yes."

Yao Shu sat on the dragon chair and continued to read the memorial that Jiang Fei Leng had not yet approved. Gu Yuan came up to Yao Shu and said, "Your Majesty, should the things left by Lord Meng be returned to the national treasury?"

Yao Shu stopped writing with the brush, and the ink on the brush dripped onto the memorial. Yao Shu put down the brush, thought for a moment and said to Gu Yuan: "Give Lord Meng's night-shining pearl to Hou Xiaoshi. In recognition of Hou Zaizhi's good governance, I will promote him to the rank of minister, give him the name Yue, and grant him the residence of Yuehua Pavilion. Go to my storehouse and pick out some luxurious gold and silver jewelry."

Gu Yuan hesitated for half a second, and Yao Shu thought of something and said to Gu Yuan: "The Night Pearl's gift is the same as last time."

Gu Yuan did not dare to say more, and immediately accepted the order and said, "Yes, I will go and inform Yue Qing right away."

After listening to this, Yao Shu nodded with satisfaction and continued to review memorials. After the servants brought the imperial edict, Yao Shu began to write a list of promotion names.

In the evening, Yao Shu took her husband Beimin to the celebration banquet, while soldiers with lower status and military achievements sat outside the banquet venue, at an open-air banquet.

Entering the palace, Gu Yuan raised his whisk and shouted, "Your Majesty has arrived! Lord Feng has arrived!"

Yao Shu walked into the banquet hall, where both sides were filled with meritorious officials and nobles. When they saw them, they stood up and saluted.

"Greetings to His Majesty, long live His Majesty! Greetings to Lord Feng, may Lord Feng live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand thousand years!"

Yao Shu came to the throne, turned around and said with a smile: "My dear ministers, please don't be polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yao Shu sat on the dragon throne, and Fu Beimin sat on the phoenix throne next to it. Everyone sat down only after they saw the two of them sit down.

Gu Yuan stood next to Yao Shu, with Qi An and Le Xin behind him holding several imperial edicts.

A maidservant poured wine into Yao Shu's glass, then stood aside holding the wine jug.

Yao Shu picked up the wine glass and gave a victory speech to the ministers: "My fellow soldiers, you have followed me to the battlefield and returned victoriously. You are all warriors who survived the battlefield and won military merits. This cup is for you."

After saying that, Yao Shu drank it all in one gulp. When the sisters heard what Yao Shu said, they raised their glasses to celebrate.

Yao Shu waited for everyone to finish drinking, and then continued to say to everyone: "Now I will let Gu Yuan read the imperial edict. I said that I would promote the sisters and give them more titles, and I will definitely promote them! Gu Yuan read the imperial edict!"

"it is good!"

The sisters below cheered and waited with their eyes wide open for Gu Yuan to read out their names.

Gu Yuan was delighted when he saw this, and he picked up the imperial edict behind him and read: "The Emperor, in accordance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: The thousand men Gu Puming, Wu Zhurong, Yin Cheng, Zi Che Jiming, Nanmen Rui, Yin Xi, Xue Yanglan..."

Gu Yuan read out the names of the soldiers one by one, "Yao Beihan, Hou Zi'e, Xu Tianjiao, please accept my order. You are all brave and good at fighting, and have killed more than a hundred enemies. You will be named Le Qing and rewarded with 50,000 taels of silver each. The Zongzheng Court will send someone to escort you to the mansion. This is my order."

Boxes of heavy rewards were carried up, and the people around stared with wide eyes.

After these old ladies received their rewards, Gu Yuan continued to read out the military merit orders of the heroes.

When it came to the second to last imperial edict, Gu Yuan picked it up and read, "Deputy Commandant Wu Qingjiao, please accept the edict."

Wu Qingjiao came to Yao Shu, knelt down and said, "I am your humble servant."

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Wu Qingjiao, son of the Marquis of Huaiyuan, has killed countless enemies and is both brave and resourceful. He is promoted to General Zhaode and is granted a mansion in the capital and a reward of 1,000 taels of gold. This is my decree."

"Thank you for your kindness, your Majesty. Long live your Majesty. Long live your Majesty."

"General Zhaode, please accept the order." Gu Yuan said with a smile. Yao Shu sat on the dragon chair and ate walnuts. Looking at the heroes below who were so happy, she felt as proud as if she was giving food to small animals.

No wonder Wu Zetian liked to change the names and titles of officials. It turns out it was so cool.

Wu Qingjiao took the imperial edict and returned to her seat. She was a new official with a low rank, so she should have sat farther away from Yao Shu. However, she was a meritorious official and often hung around Yao Shu, so naturally someone arranged for her to sit closer to the throne.

"General Dai Honglun, please accept my order."

Gu Yuan continued to read the imperial edict. Dai Honglun stood up, knelt down and said, "Your humble servant is here."

"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: General Dai Honglun has served the previous dynasty with great service, and fought alongside my mother, the Queen Mother, and has made great contributions. He has now conquered five cities with me, and helped me sign the Jizhou City Agreement. He is promoted to General, given the title of Assisting the Queen Mother, granted the residence of Assisting the Queen Mother, and awarded ten thousand taels of gold. I decree this!"

Dai Honglun's heart was overwhelmed after hearing this, and a myriad of emotions in her heart made her chest rise and fall.

When she was nearly forty years old, she finally became a general of the first rank and the mother of the country, second only to the emperor!

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. Long live Your Majesty!"

Dai Honglun picked up the imperial edict and carefully stroked the hard-earned item with his calloused hands.

Dai Honglun returned to his seat and picked up the wine glass, saying solemnly: "Your Majesty, it is a great honor for us sisters to be able to lead us to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Your Majesty has also given so many sisters rewards. I am very grateful! I offer a toast to Your Majesty."

After Dai Honglun finished his drink, he bowed to Yao Shu.
