Chapter 2129: Reward

The next step is to discuss meritorious rewards.

Zhao Yuanjing said that the greatest hero was Yun Dai, but Yun Dai was already

the queen of the middle palace and had reached the top of the harem girl, and

there was nothing to canonize.

If you say reward...

After half a year of expenditure, the court's treasury was very empty, still

owed many foreign debts, and had no money to reward.

Zhao Yuanjing thought for a while, and gave Yundai's biological mother,

Mingmin, who had died a long time ago, the fate of a Yipin wife. The two

brothers Gu Chengan and Gu Chengning were also given the official title of

Dragon Guard.

This so-called Dragon Guard is not a specific official position, but a false

position, the fifth rank. Basically it can be counted as an honor.

But no matter what, with the official position of the Dragon Guard, he was

separated from the identity of ordinary merchants.

Since then, Gu's family is no longer a lowly merchant who is looked down upon.

It doesn't matter how big and profitable the Yunji the Gu brothers are. In

terms of social status, after all, it is still a merchant that people look

down upon.

The emperor gave them a reward, and the Gu family once again became a noble

class in Kyoto.

This is to give Yun Dai face, and it is also because of the Gu brothers'

performance in this war.

When the Queen Mother sent someone to Yunji to make trouble, the brothers

desperately resisted and both were injured. In particular, Gu Chengning was

seriously injured, and took a few months before getting out of bed.

Gu Chengan was busy coordinating every shipment to Saibei, and there was no

day to rest from year to year.

Knowing that the firm was short of money, he took out all the wealth he had

saved in the past few years to fill it up.

They can afford the mere vacancies of two fifth-grade dragon guards.

When the imperial decree arrived at Gu's house, Gu Chengan was still busy in

the business, and he hurried back after hearing the news.

The brothers took their wives and children to receive the imperial decree, and

they were a little confused.

They never thought that there will be a day when they will return to the

gentry in this life.

After sending away the * who passed the edict, the whole family huffed

around and circled the * excitedly.

Holding the imperial decree, Gu Chengning said unequivocally: "This...is the

queen empress for us to fight for?"

Gu Chengan stood up and said, "This is certain. If it weren't for the face of

the empress, how would the court care about us?"

"Brother, you said, does this mean that the empress has forgiven our family?"

Gu Chengning asked.

"I don't know." Gu Chengan shook his head.

He was once the most enthusiastic fame and fortune, but now he is the calmest

person in the family.

Not only the appearance is calm, but also the heart is calm as water.

He doesn't care about these at all.

Busy in the business every day, going home to accompany his wife and children,

as long as the wife in the palace is safe and the family is fine, he is

already satisfied.

Standing at thirty, relived once, he has found the true meaning of life.

If there is any regret, it is sister Yun Dai.

Since childhood, he hurt her a lot, and even once agreed with his father's

decision to drown her.

Thinking of this, he himself could not forgive himself, let alone ask Yun Dai

to forgive himself.

He felt that Yundai was not the kind of person who would just forgive her for

hurting her because he did a little remedy.

Therefore, he was more inclined to think that this imperial edict was a

decision made by the emperor himself in order to please Yun Dai, and had

nothing to do with the empress.

Gu Chengan didn't expect that he guessed right.

Gu Chengning was more optimistic than him. He felt that this imperial decree

represented the beginning of the relaxation of the relationship between Yun

Dai and the Gu family.

The brothers put the imperial decree in the ancestral hall for offering.
