Murong Fu rode his horse to the outside of the city. When he was still nearly a hundred feet away from Huizong, he jumped off his horse and walked with a group of military generals to pay homage to Huizong.
"Your Majesty Murong Fu, you are fortunate to have lived up to your command!"
Murong Fu knelt down on one knee, and the generals behind him also bowed down.
After Huizong saw Murong Fu dismounting, his hanging heart was relieved. Now he saw him kneeling to him in public, and the thoughts floating in his mind calmed down a lot. He then put on a smiling face and greeted him enthusiastically. Helped him up.
"King Yan has made such unparalleled contributions to our Song Dynasty, please come quickly!"
Murong Fu took advantage of the situation and stood up. Han Baizhan and others behind him did not stand up rashly. They did not stand up until Huizong said, "All generals are equal."
This scene undoubtedly dispelled Huizong's doubts.
After some pleasantries, Huizong happily welcomed Murong Fu and others into Bianjing City and went straight to the palace hall. ?.?????.???
In the main hall, Huizong granted rewards to all the generals who had meritorious service this time. In addition to a few members of the rebel army, there were also members of the Yao, Zhong, and Zhe families. They even granted Tian's mansion a title. The rewards were very generous.
But when it was Murong Fu, Han Baizhan and others' turn, they were only rewarded with some gold, silver, silk and idle official positions.
Murong Fu, in particular, liked to mention the title of General of the Kingdom, tens of millions of taels of gold and silver, ten thousand pieces of brocade silk and satin, twenty boxes of jewelry and other yellow and white things.
It seems that Huizong's rewards were very rich, but they were insignificant compared to the great contribution Murong Fu performed.
Based on Murong Fu's outstanding military exploits and his ability to lead troops in battle, people in the court thought that Huizong would assign some important states and cities in Yanyun and other places to him for guarding.
On the one hand, some gold and silver rewards can be appropriately reduced and relieved, and the tightness of the treasury expenditure can be alleviated. On the other hand, Murong Fu's prestige can be used to intimidate the barbarians outside the Great Wall and promote the prestige of the Song Dynasty.
After all, with such a ZTE general here, who would dare to attack again?
However, Huizong would rather have an empty treasury than grant Murong a fiefdom. This move made the officials in the court a little impetuous.
Han Baizhan and others listened to the chamberlain reciting the imperial edict loudly in the palace, their faces were a little ugly, and they felt unhappy for Murong Fu.
Murong Fu, on the other hand, behaved very calmly. After the chamberlain recited the imperial edict, he knelt down to receive it. His attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and there was no look of dissatisfaction on his face.
Huizong sat high in the main hall, staring at Murong Fu with his eyes, as if to see what he was thinking in his heart, but he was disappointed. Murong Fu acted impeccably, and there was really no flaw.
But looking at Murong Fu below, Huizong suddenly thought of something and said on the spur of the moment: "Prince Yan and the eldest princess have been married for a long time. I don't know when to appoint the princess?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but look at Murong Fu, with an incomprehensible look on his face, and he didn't even dare to take a breath.
Regarding Murong Fu, it is almost no secret in the court.
Murong Fu had already married a wife in Gusu, and then he married Princess Yinchuan of Xixia Kingdom as a Jianghu man, and then married Li Qingzhao, the most talented girl in Kyoto. Whether he was a childhood sweetheart, an exotic princess, or a talented literary woman, he was He alone occupies it, which can be said to be the envy of others!
Although Murong Fu married the eldest princess at that time and became their consort of the Song Dynasty, logically speaking, the princess should be Murong Fu's first wife. At this moment, the official suddenly mentioned this in the main hall. I'm afraid someone else has decided this matter!
Murong Fu, who was still calm at first, became slightly unnatural when he heard this. He didn't expect Huizong to lose his composure so quickly!
"Back to the official residence, after the ministers have chosen the place to join the vassal and set up a government office, the princess will be appointed!"
Huizong said: "Princess Xu is Zhezong's sister and the princess of the Song Dynasty. King Yan must also understand that this is related to the face of my royal family!"
If it was still a test before, Huizong's words had already made it clear that Murong Fu should appoint Xiao Qi as Princess Yan.
His move was not only to suppress him, but also to test Murong Fu's loyalty.
Huizong's small thoughts could not be hidden from Murong Fu, but in the face of this conspiracy, even he had no way to resolve it. He could only use the excuse that the vassal territory had not yet been established and fooled him first.
However, this can only be delayed for a while, not a long-term solution!
Huizong's words today can be regarded as a reminder to Murong Fu.
Now that he is the king of the Song Dynasty, the choice of the princess is no longer something he can easily decide. All factors must be taken into consideration, not only to block the court's mouth, but also to convince the Han people.
After retiring from the court, Huizong held a banquet in the palace to entertain the heroes.
In the main hall, Xiao Qi sat next to Murong Fu, with shy eyes and a look of happiness on her face. This was the first time she attended such an occasion with Murong Fu. Thinking of her identity and the frequent attention of the ministers in the palace, The look he received was somewhat embarrassing.
As if aware of her nervousness, Murong Fu slowly took hold of her catkins and said gently: "Are you feeling unwell?"
When Xiao Qi was held by Murong Fu's broad hand, she felt as if she had found someone to rely on. She looked at him tenderly and said, "I feel happy and feel no discomfort at all."
Murong Fu smiled slightly and said, "Today the officials asked me about the appointment of a princess."
After hearing this, Xiao Qi was a little surprised and said: "Why would the official mention this matter deliberately?"
"You are the princess of the Song Dynasty, and I am the vassal king. The identity of this princess is naturally extremely careless!"
Murong Fu sighed.
After hearing this, Xiao Qi was afraid that Murong Fu might misunderstand, so she hurriedly said: "Brother Murong, I...I don't care about the princess. You tell the officials that Sister Wang is your first wife, and she should be the princess!"
Murong Fu shook his head and said, "I have decided to make you Princess Yan!"
This was also a helpless move, a decision made by Murong Fu after careful consideration.
When Xiao Qi heard this, he seemed even more panicked.
"How is this possible? If Brother Murong doesn't find it easy to speak, I will go find the official!"
Murong Fu held her hand tightly and said with a smile: "No need, I have already decided on this matter. I believe Yu Yan will understand my painstaking efforts."
Seeing that Xiao Qi wanted to persuade him again, Murong Fu interrupted and said, "Xiao Qi, can you promise me something?"
"you say."
Xiao Qi suddenly became a little nervous.
Murong Fu said in a serious tone: "Ze'er is the child of me and Yu Yan. If I want to make you Princess Yan, I hope to adopt Ze'er to you. The legitimate eldest son will be in order. After all, he is my first child... …”
No matter whether he can conquer the world in the future or not, Murong Fu's current status, such as wife, concubine, eldest son, second son, can no longer be as casual as before!
Murong Chengze is Murong Fu's first child. Even if he cannot make Wang Yuyan his concubine, their child must still be the eldest son. This status must not be messed up!
