Rebirth Era Pretty Wife

Chapter 2229 I'm Making Trouble in Ancient Times 36

You have to know that the queen was the most beautiful woman in the world back then. Even though she is ill now, she is still stunningly beautiful.

But when the emperor saw Rong Yuxing in person, he realized that there are always people better than you.

He is indeed the legendary Jade-faced General. "I heard that Lord Rong was assassinated before entering the city? Are you injured?" Rong Yuxin's expression was stern. "Your Majesty, the general was indeed attacked in the bamboo forest outside the imperial city.

An ambush was made, but the general was not injured. Although more than 20 of the men in black were killed, another 30 escaped.

The emperor was furious. "How ridiculous! This is really outrageous. Fortunately, you are fine. This matter will be handed over to the Ministry of Justice for investigation." Rong Yuxin immediately said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

She knew that the matter had been exposed. In fact, there was no need to investigate, as she knew which of the emperor's sons had done this.

It would be better for the emperor to solve this kind of problem himself.

The emperor looked at Rong Yuxin and softened his expression. "General Rong is a man of great talent. He made great contributions in the battle against the Western Zhou Dynasty. I wonder what reward General Rong would like?"

Rong Yuxin said righteously, "It is the duty of every man to protect the territory of Southern Qin and prevent the enemy from invading and disturbing the people of Southern Qin. As a military general, I should serve the emperor with all my heart and soul until my death. Guarding the gate of Southern Qin is my duty as a military general. I dare not ask for any reward."

"Well, General Rong said it very well." The emperor was very pleased. Hearing this, his blood was boiling. If all the civil and military officials in the court had the awareness of this young general, then he would have less worries as the emperor. "General Rong is really noble and righteous, but he should be rewarded according to his merits."

Rong Yuxin raised her eyes, "Does the Emperor really want to reward the general?"

The emperor nodded.

Qin Yichuang also narrowed his eyes slightly. He also wanted to hear what reward this smooth-talking general wanted.

Rong Yuxin knew very well that her achievements would frighten the ruler and make him jealous. Besides, her position as a general was quite high. It was not hers to ask for a higher position.

"Your Majesty wants to reward me. If I refuse, I will be disobeying His Majesty's order. I am a loyal minister. How can I do such a thing?" He showed a shy face. "My family is very poor. I have never seen a lot of gold in my life. How about... Your Majesty, just give me a few tens of thousands of gold?"

When Qin Yichuang heard this, he coughed several times because of his saliva. He looked at the shameless man in disbelief.

How dare he say that? Isn't he afraid that the emperor will get angry and remove his generals?

The emperor's smile froze on his face.

This way of asking for money is really novel and unique. I'm afraid no one in the court would ask the emperor for a reward of tens of thousands of taels of gold.

Rong Yuxin looked confused and ignorant, and asked very cautiously: "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with this request? If you think it is too much, then 10,000 taels of gold will also be fine."

After a pause, she continued to speak, her face red, as if she was embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, I didn't dare to ask for this at first. Why did Your Majesty insist on rewarding me? In fact, my family is poor, and Your Majesty has given me the General's Mansion. This... many servants and maids in the General's Mansion need monthly wages, and I am really too poor.

I was just worrying about the money, but I didn't expect the emperor to be so considerate of me. You are such a good emperor. Now, I can save money for my wife and daughter."
