Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 288 This is my son

At the same time in the imperial city.

News about Song Yuan has already spread like wildfire in the court.

Hearing that his son had wiped out 20,000 barbarian troops at a very low cost, Song Youji felt extremely proud and smiled more often in the past two days.

Thinking of Song Yuan, now he is promoting the prestige of our country and avenging those who died tragically.

While Song Youji was excited, he also felt a headache.

The truth is, Song Yuan has now reached the highest position in the country, and the other party may not care about gold, silver and treasures.

But now he has made such a great contribution, which is definitely rare even among all the dynasties of the Qin Dynasty.

If I don't reward anything, wouldn't I be laughed at by outsiders?

While Song Youji was having a headache, the civil and military officials in the court did not understand Song Youji's difficulties. In the hall, they took the initiative to come forward again and again to ask for credit for Song Yuan!

Especially General Zhao and Duke Wei, who took turns to fight, which gave Song Youji a headache.

You are just talking about rewards, but who can give me an idea of ​​what the rewards should be?

At this moment in the morning court, the topic of how to reward Song Yuan was raised again.

Several ministers argued over this until their faces turned red. Song Yuan's achievements really exceeded everyone's expectations. Faced with such a genius, they naturally had to cultivate him.

In order to protect Song Yuan's interests, a group of ministers quarreled fiercely.

"If you ask me, meritorious service must be rewarded. Now Your Majesty is suppressing it. Could it be that you are jealous of your own son?"

"You're talking nonsense! Your Majesty is a broad-minded person, how could he be that kind of person? But in my opinion, rewarding him is necessary!"

"That's right. Now that the war is about to begin, offering Song Yuan to us at this time can greatly boost morale. When others see this example, they will bravely fight the enemy and their fighting power will increase!"

"But after all, Song Yuan is now a prince, so how should we reward him next? In my opinion, instead of rewarding Song Yuan, it would be better to reward some of their subordinates. After all, you and I both know that such a great achievement is inseparable from those people!"

"That's right, I thought so too. Hasn't the eldest prince always loved money? Why not reward him with gold and silver, and give more credit to his subordinates? That way, no one outside will dare to say anything!"

Hearing the civil and military officials in the court talking at the same time, Song Youji frowned slightly and felt that the situation was getting more difficult.

Everyone's statement has some truth to it.

But in the final analysis, they are just subjects, not the masters of the empire. How can they have so many concerns as I do?

Those soldiers from top to bottom must be rewarded, but no matter what, Song Yuan is only the nominal commander. If the reward given to Song Yuan is lower than that of others, how will others view it?

Therefore, rewarding only gold and silver is really limited and unacceptable.

But now Song Yuan has reached the highest position in the country. If the prince takes another step forward, he can't just give up the throne to him, right?

Besides, if such credit were all given to those soldiers, Song Yuan’s close associates would probably all be promoted to generals!

How can there be such a ridiculous statement?

By then, everyone in the entire military camp will be of great rank, but in the end he will be the commander of Tian's army.

If the whole thing gets out, won't it just make people laugh?

"Alright, alright, shut up!"

Hearing the noise around him, Song Youji felt a headache for a moment, and slammed the table and yelled angrily.

Then, facing the difficult problem at hand, Song Youji immediately shifted his gaze to the Crown Prince Song Qi beside him: "Qi'er. As the Crown Prince now, you should assist me in governing the country."

"Besides, this matter concerns your eldest brother. Do you have any opinions on how to reward him?"

"Father, if it were anything else, even if I spoke up it wouldn't have made any difference. This matter is too complicated. Even if it were, I wouldn't dare to jump to conclusions!"

Having suffered losses time and time again, Song Qi had already learned his lesson. Looking at the cheap man in front of him, he cursed in his heart.

You always want to put the blame on me for everything, don’t you, old thief, just want me to take the blame?

But today I won’t fall for your tricks. I won’t accept it. Let’s see what you can do to me!

Song Qi was feeling proud of his own wisdom, but the moment he finished speaking, Song Youji suddenly became furious.

"You idiot! As the Crown Prince, you're my successor. Now you can't even explain something like this. What use do I have for you?"

"Father, I..."

Seeing that Song Youji was about to explode, Song Qi frowned and quickly opened his mouth to argue.

But no one expected that at this moment, a burst of loud shouts suddenly came from outside the hall.

"Good news! Great victory in Mohai City!"

Mohai City again?

Upon hearing this news, everyone was petrified, their eyes wide open, and they stood there in a daze.

Where did this good news come from?

Didn’t Song Yuan just report his military achievements two days ago?

Now the last reward has not been decided yet, and the next military achievement is already coming.

Moreover, judging from the tone of the person who made the announcement, the credit this time is probably not much less than the last time.

When two things pile up at the same time, what should I do?

Just thinking about it made Song Youji feel even more headache.

At the same time, all the civil and military officials in the court looked towards the entrance, their pupils filled with surprise.

Song Yuan is now making military achievements. What exactly is this kid capable of?

How long has it been since the last time?

Could it be that this guy is really a genius?

Just as everyone was surprised, they saw the messenger step forward with three red flags on his back. He immediately came to Song Youji and handed him the battle report.

Song Youji's face was full of anxiety. He opened the battle report immediately. After just a few glances, his eyes widened.

The outcome before him was completely beyond his imagination!

This time, the credit Song Yuan gained was even greater than last time!

"Hahaha, this is my son, did you all hear that?"

Thinking of Song Yuan's heroic feat, Song Youji felt proud and in high spirits for a moment.

He raised his hands high above his head and exclaimed in surprise.

"This is my son, this is my son! As the saying goes, like father, like son. Hahahaha, my son is really great!"

Song Youji had a smile on his face, but his excited look made the people around him feel miserable.

From the very beginning, Song Youji was only concerned with being happy.

It was not clearly stated what the content of the battle report was.

For a moment, everyone stared blankly, and there was a hint of anxiety in their eyes when they looked at Song Youji.

Damn it, don’t just be happy by yourself, share the contents of the battle report with others!

While looking forward to it, everyone compared Song Youji's performance in the previous two times and had already made up their minds.

This time, Song Youji completely disregarded his image. Could it be that his contribution was even greater than last time?
