Chapter 2456: Ye Li refused to give a reward

To be praised by the emperor is naturally the supreme glory for the courtiers.
But for Mu Lianfeng and Ye Li, they didn't care about the court at all, so they wouldn't care about these so-called glory.
It's just that, as their heroes this time, the emperor deliberately held a banquet, and it is always difficult to refuse. Doing so will directly offend the emperor and bring unnecessary trouble back.
After talking about the officialdom, the emperor made some specific rewards for these heroes.
Mulianfeng's title in the court has increased by two ranks, and his salary has also increased a lot every year.
In addition, a large number of fields and gold and silver jewelry were awarded.
Regardless of whether it is in official positions or economically, the rewards given by the emperor are relatively generous.
In addition to the fact that Mu Lianfeng made great contributions to the frontier fortress, it also warned other people in the court that as long as he was relieved and loyal to him, these rewards would not be lost.
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 one's own hands.
In those big families, relatives hold most of this power.
In fact, many dynasties are like this.
To be a monarch, to rule the entire country, face intrigue every day.
Although he is in a superior position on the bright side and enjoys endless honor, but there are many risks behind it, and there are also a lot of sadness and helplessness.
It is not easy to stand in this position and want to go on for a long time without being controlled by others.
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 is just a puppet...
Mu Lianfeng and Zhao Yun'er both attended together and received the emperor's reward.
And the next reward is Ye Li.
The emperor was even more generous with Ye Li's reward and arranged for a general position, holding heavy power.
This can be done at a young age, and if you continue to work, you will always be able to climb up and become the general of the town.
In addition, Ye Li also received some fiefdom and gold and silver jewelry rewards.
However, Ye Li was present, and unexpectedly, in front of the emperor, he refused all the rewards from the emperor.
Everyone was shocked, and at the same time they felt that Ye Li was so bold that he dared to refuse no matter how the emperor's reward was given.
The emperor's deep eyes stared at Ye Li, with no expression on his face, and he couldn't see the emperor's emotions at this time.
However, judging from the breath radiating from the emperor, it seemed to reveal a touch of danger.
Zhao Yuner looked at Ye Li a little anxiously, and then at the emperor.
I don't know how Ye Li could refuse the emperor's reward in front of so many ministers.
Isn't it afraid of making the emperor unhappy? Maybe it's a loss of life.
The emperor raised his eyebrows and asked Ye Li, "Oh? I don't know why Ye Aiqing rejected my award."
Ye Li respectfully said, "Going back to the emperor, this time going to the frontier fortress, it is just that the minister wants to do his part. Although the emperor seems to be the minister who has made great contributions, the minister did not take this credit into his heart.
In the future, the minister only wanted to be free between the mountains and rivers, and did not have much interest in the affairs of the court.
Therefore, I don't want to have any official awards, I just want to be an ordinary people and live a plain life. "
If it weren't for Zhao Yuner, maybe he wouldn't go to the border at all.
