Chapter 1687 The favor is profound and the emperor’s favor is mighty
These generals of the various armies are all old subordinates who have been with His Majesty for a long time. Most of them have been together for more than thirty years, so they can be considered to know each other well.
Although your Majesty is born into a noble family, he hates nobles the most!
This is something everyone knows.
Why did those powerful people in the capital, when they heard about the opportunity to be granted a foreign title, tried their best to get it? Not necessarily for the title, but more importantly, to get out of His Majesty's sight.
It's really hard for the rich and powerful and they suffer from discrimination.
Cao Bin and others even knew that at the beginning of the establishment of the new dynasty, how many dukes were granted by so many ministers of Conglong?
And there is still no fiefdom.
Your Majesty was just worried that he would end up with a big tail, but now he did this.
Even if you are granted a title, you will still be given a land.
Forget about the fiefdom, it was still hereditary.
This is probably a panic that has seriously exceeded expectations...
Several people went up to the military platform anxiously.
They will receive tokens from His Majesty the Emperor himself.
Originally he was ordered to express gratitude, but was replaced by Guan Ning.
Does the imperial edict require no money?
The yellow silk satin is extremely expensive, almost the same as the regular clothes Guan Ning wears.
With so many people to be conferred, how much does it cost to issue an imperial edict to each person?
Save if you can.
So, Guan Ning changed it into a token... It was actually a silver identity card with the title and name engraved on the front and when the title was awarded on the back.
It doesn't look too luxurious, but it weighs as much as a thousand pounds.
With this brand, there are hereditary titles and fiefs.
These six dukes were distributed by Guan Ning personally.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Cao Bin knelt on one knee, lowered his head and lowered his chin, holding the silver medal representing his status in both hands.
"Don't live up to my expectations!"
"I will never let you down even if I die!"
They were distributed one by one, and the six dukes stood in a row. They felt a little embarrassed.
There were several painters painting in the front at the same time. It is said that this was His Majesty's request to record this moment.
Fortunately, these painters are very smart and very fast...
Everyone thought that there were only six dukes, but they didn't expect that His Majesty was just a false shot.
Above the two armies, there was also a command post. The commander-in-chief was Hao Cang. In addition to the commander-in-chief, there were also left and right deputy commanders who were also awarded the title of Duke of the State.
Guan Wentong, the deputy commander on the left, is already a full-fledged veteran and is now nearly seventy years old.
In the previous dynasty of Dakang, Guan Wentong was already a general guarding the frontier. After the establishment of the new dynasty, he still sat in command and later served as deputy commander-in-chief of the left.
After this conferment, he retired and was now granted the title of Duke.
The right deputy commander-in-chief Chen Pei, who was originally a general of the border guard army, was also named the Duke of the country.
The two men stepped forward to receive the seal.
I thought the confederation was over, but in fact it was not!
After the generals were awarded the title, it was the turn of the generals in the army. Each of them had long-term seniority and outstanding military exploits, and they were second only to the generals in the army.
Zhang Li, Yan Peng, Li Jixuan, Lin Tailai... six people were named dukes.
These people were not the first generals to follow Guan Ning before the establishment of the new dynasty. They all surrendered midway until now.
Everyone knows it.
Although the direct descendants of the Zhenbei Army may be dissatisfied, these people have worked hard and have great achievements. They have to take care of themselves. If they are judged by meritorious service, they have already achieved it.
"When the new dynasty was established, you were granted the title of earl for the first time. I have said that the war will not end until the Wei and Liang Kingdoms are eliminated. I hope you can be among those granted the title of Duke in the future."
Guan Ning looked at Zhang Li, who was kneeling in front of him, and said in a low voice: "Now that you have been appointed as a county prince, it will be considered as a day of fulfillment. I will tell you the same thing, I hope you can be among the kings in the future!"
"I will go through fire and water for His Majesty without any hesitation!"
Zhang Li bowed his head.
At this moment, he also thought of the title granted by Tiance Mansion in the early years of Yuanwu.
Perhaps many people feel the same way as him.
Sixteen years later, he was named a Duke, and he will continue to fight...
"Where did the arm go?"
Guan Ning looked at the empty cuff of Zhang Li's right arm.
"I lost my mind on the battlefield and was beheaded by the enemy..."
Zhang Li added another sentence.
"But he was killed by me!"
"If you lose your right arm, you can no longer hold a weapon, right?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, the general has learned to hold a sword with his left hand!"
"Okay, don't live up to my expectations."
The six people accepted the tokens, thanked them and left.
Fourteen Dukes!
At the founding of the country, six dukes were granted the title, and now there are 14, which is simply terrifying.
But what's even more surprising is what happens next. After the Duke is conferred, he becomes the Marquis.
Marquis can be divided into county marquis and county marquis, which is the difference between one-character marquis and two-character marquis.
Marquis, such a comfortable and nice title, the Duke does not confer it easily, Marquis is the highest pursuit of many people, and in the ensuing conferment decree, Cheng Jingguang announced his name for nearly three quarters of an hour.
Two hundred and forty-three marquises!
Among them, there are one hundred and three with the word "prefecture", and one hundred and forty with the word "xian".
From the perspective of the entire army, it does not seem to be much, but if compared with the founding of the country, it is quite a lot!
This is nobility, not cabbage.
Moreover, the Marquis also has a fief!
During the next earl conferment, Cheng Jing was finally able to rest, and his throat was already smoking...
Zhao Nanxing took over to read, but because there were too many people, he did not finish reading. Qi Tai, the left minister of the Ministry of War, continued to read.
I don’t remember exactly how many, because there were so many that I felt numb.
There is only a sigh in my heart.
The emperor's kindness is profound and his kindness is mighty.
Gong, Hou, Bo.
The next county men and county sons are not included in this conferment.
But the conferment is not over yet.
Everyone knows that Hao Cang, the commander-in-chief of the two armies, has not yet been granted the title. When Daning was founded, he was granted the title of Duke of Jing. If he is granted the title again, he will definitely be the king!
Now it's at the end. It's obvious that they want to witness the appearance of Daning's first king with a different surname!
Chapter completed!
