Chapter 2456 Ye Li Refused to Reward

To be praised by the emperor is naturally a supreme honor for the courtiers.

But for Mu Lianfeng and Ye Li, they didn't care about the imperial court at all, and they wouldn't care about these so-called honors.

It's just that as the heroes of this time, the emperor deliberately held a reward banquet, and it was always difficult to refuse. Doing so would directly offend the emperor and bring some unnecessary trouble back.

After talking about the officialdom, the emperor made some specific awards for these heroes.

Mu Lianfeng's title in the imperial court has increased by two levels, and his annual salary has also increased a lot.

In addition, a large number of fields and gold and silver jewelry were also awarded.

Whether in official position or in economy, the rewards given by the emperor are relatively generous.

In addition to Zhenfeng rewarding Mu Lianfeng's contribution to the frontier fortress, he also warned other people in the court that as long as they worked for him with peace of mind and were loyal to him, these rewards would not be small.

This act is to win people's hearts.

After all, in this court, the emperor is also in a very awkward position.

All power is not concentrated in his own hands.

Those big families, foreign relatives hold most of this power.

In fact, many dynasties are like this.

Being a monarch, ruling an entire country, you face intrigue every day.

Although he is in a high position on the bright side and enjoys endless honor, there are a lot of risks behind it, as well as a lot of sadness and helplessness.

It is not easy to be able to stand in this position and want to go on for a long time without being controlled by others.

What the emperor wants to do now is to slowly hold the power in his own hands, so that it is possible to completely control some things.

Otherwise he's just a puppet...

Mu Lianfeng and Zhao Yuner both attended and received the emperor's reward.

And the next reward is Ye Li.

The emperor was not stingy with Ye Li's reward, and arranged the position of a general, holding great power.

You can do this at a young age, and if you keep working hard, you will eventually be able to climb up and become a general of the town.

In addition, Ye Li also received some fiefs and gold and silver jewelry as rewards.

However, Ye Li attended. To everyone's surprise, in front of the emperor, he rejected all the emperor's rewards.

Everyone was only shocked, and at the same time felt that Ye Li was so bold, how could he even refuse the emperor's reward.

The emperor's deep eyes stared at Ye Li, there was no expression on his face, and he could not see the emperor's emotions at this time.

However, judging from the breath emanating from the emperor, it seems to reveal a touch of danger.

Zhao Yuner looked at Ye Li anxiously, and then looked at the emperor.

I don't know how Ye Li could refuse the emperor's reward in front of so many ministers.

Aren't you afraid of making the emperor unhappy, maybe losing your life.

The emperor raised his brows and asked Ye Li, "Ao? I don't know why Ye Aiqing refused my award."

Ye Li bowed respectfully and said, "Go back to the emperor, this time I went to the frontier fortress, just because the minister wanted to do his best. Although in the emperor's opinion, the minister made a great contribution, but the minister did not take this credit to heart.

In the future, the minister just wanted to be at ease in the mountains and rivers, and did not have much interest in the affairs of the court.

Therefore, I don't want any official awards, I just want to be an ordinary commoner and live a normal life. "

If it wasn't for Zhao Yun'er, maybe he wouldn't go to the frontier at all.
