Especially those who followed Guan Ning earlier felt the deepest feelings.

Who could have imagined that it would actually reach this point?

Li Fuzai, the former general of the Anbei Army, was in the formation. Looking at this scene, he couldn't help but feel deeply.

I can't help but think of how lucky he was that he made up his mind in time when he first launched his army, otherwise how could he be where he is today?

He was made an earl, and His Majesty, considering that he was not suitable for the army, placed him somewhere.

Your Majesty calls it changing jobs, which is quite an appropriate description.

It's rare that His Majesty still remembered him, summoned him in his spare time, and treated him quite cordially.

"What? The war is over, you are living a good life, and you are getting fatter?"

This was the first sentence that made him deeply moved.

The second sentence is.

"You're such a naughty person, you won't offend anyone, and you can get along with everyone."

This startled him.

However, His Majesty continued: "I heard that when you were marching and fighting, everyone else was hungry due to the shortage of military rations, but you were always able to find something to eat. Instead of losing weight, you actually gained weight."

He was trembling.

Generally speaking, it is definitely not a good thing to say something like this.

He thought about the past carefully, and it seemed that he had not done anything extraordinary...

As a result, His Majesty continued: "This is considered a natural ability of yours. You are not suitable for the army. Go and be an official in a local area. There are still many hungry people. You have to find a way to fill their bellies."

So he was appointed as Fu Yin and became the chief official of the first government.

"If you do a good job, I will let you be the state shepherd!"

I cannot live up to His Majesty's great trust.

Li Fu thought to himself.

At this moment, Zhang Li and Yan Peng also had the same idea as Li Fu.

They are considered to have become monks halfway.

He was originally a general of the northwest army of the imperial court, but was later forced to surrender. However, the two of them were thorough. After deciding to surrender, they directly gave a city to Guan Ning. Later, they took the lead and fought desperately.

Both of them had good results and were made earls.

The choices I made were not wrong.

Zhang Li was also summoned by Guan Ning before being awarded the title.

"You are very scheming and utilitarian, and you are the type who will do whatever it takes to achieve your goals."

At that moment, Zhang Li felt that he was invisible in front of His Majesty, and his little thoughts were clearly seen.

"But this is also your advantage. People always have to be ambitious, so that they can dare to fight hard. I will give you a chance. The country is not stable yet. If the threats from Wei and Liang are not eliminated, the war will not end. I hope that one day

On that day, you will be among those awarded by the Duke!"

Zhang Li thought about this and clenched his fists!

"Your Majesty, I will have that day!"

Everyone has their own thoughts.

Guan Ning continued: "You are so successful that you can still be awarded a title here, but in the process, many people died on the battlefield and were buried in the loess forever!"

Hear this.

Everyone looked heavy.

They can relate to each other. Since the beginning of the army, countless people have died in battle. They should all be considered lucky...

"Those of us who are still alive cannot forget those who have died, and we must know that today is hard-earned!"

Guan Ning said solemnly: "So I am planning to build the Martyrs' Shrine to pay homage to those heroic soldiers who died on the battlefield. Perhaps their bodies have been buried forever in the loess and are hard to find, but their spirit of heroic sacrifice will live on forever!"

"They should be remembered and respected by others!"

Guan Ning continued: "The Ministry of War has been conducting registration verification recently. Anyone who joins the military will receive pensions after their death in battle, and their family members who are heroes and martyrs will receive court subsidies. I want you to go to the battlefield in a down-to-earth manner and perform meritorious service during your lifetime.

Be famous after death!"

Hearing this, all the generals were startled!

It was so touching!

There are no immortals on the battlefield. When you go to the battlefield, you just put your head in your waistband. No one knows whether you will survive.

For them, death is not afraid.

What they fear is that after death, their mother will have no one to take care of her at home, and that after she is killed in battle, she will remain anonymous.

Now, their worries are gone.

A Martyrs' Shrine was set up so that they would be famous after their death, have people pay homage to them, and even have people pay homage to them.

There is also pension, and people in the family can also be taken care of.

What else is there to worry about?

"I am willing to fight for His Majesty, go through fire and water, no matter what!"

Pang Qingyun took the lead and knelt down on one knee.

"I am willing to fight for His Majesty, go through fire and water, no matter what!"

Everyone knelt down and shouted loudly, the momentum was overwhelming!

What reason does such a majesty have for disloyalty?

At this moment, this is entirely from my heart, rather than following the crowd.

Have merit while alive and be famous after death.

For soldiers who have gone through life and death, this is the greatest satisfaction.

Looking at this scene, Xue Huairen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Some people are born to be emperors. They can win the trust and support of others and can make people work for them willingly. Your Majesty is like this.

He finally understood why Guan Ning was able to overthrow Emperor Long Jing's rule in such a short period of time.

Now he knows.

He once thought that unifying the world might be an empty talk and an unattainable dream. Now it seems that His Majesty may really be able to achieve it...

only……

Xue Huairen was a little regretful. He was already old and probably wouldn't be able to see that day.

The investiture ceremony ended in such a shocking scene.

In fact, it's not over yet.

After all, there are only a few people who are awarded the title, and the largest number in the army are basic soldiers.

Their merits may not be enough to be awarded a title, but they are outstanding, so Guan Ning has prepared things for them.

That's the medal, called the Medal of Valor.

It is mainly awarded to those soldiers who have made special achievements and fought bravely in the war.

The Medal of Valor was arranged by Guan Ning for the Ministry of Works to fight. It is about three inches in diameter, round, and made of gold, silver, and copper. The word Yuan Wu is engraved on the front and surrounded by two golden dragons on the back.

The pattern was created by Guan Ning, the workmanship is fine, and it looks quite exquisite.

Of course, what's more important is its meaning.

This is an honor.

The main recipients of medals are low-level soldiers and low-level generals.

This was also a means to win over the morale of the army. It was originally planned to be made of iron, but later it was discovered that Emperor Longjing had a lot of gold and silver in his inner treasury, so he used it to make it.

The three colors of gold, silver and copper represent different honors.

He believed that the soldiers who were awarded the awards would be very excited, which could also have a motivating effect.

It may seem insignificant, but it can win over the morale of the army. This is also the way of an emperor.

The large number of awards given to those who have made outstanding contributions will inevitably cause the soldiers at the bottom to feel resentful and think that Guan Ning has forgotten them.

Actually I haven't forgotten.

However, I cannot give them the awards in person, because there are too many people, and I don’t know how long it will take for them to be awarded one by one. They can only be led by the generals of each army, and another award ceremony will be held in their respective armies.

The ceremony is over.

Guan Ning did not return to the palace immediately. He inspected Tiance Mansion. This is the place that will control the country's military in the future, so naturally he cannot neglect it.

Due to time constraints, it is not yet complete, but it has begun to function.
Chapter completed!
