The Ministry of War had done everything for themselves. Although they did not dare to easily associate with Zhao Huan, they would not even think about letting them contribute to the Cai family in vain and deliberately making enemies of Zhao Huan.
Since the sudden rise of Zhao Huan's army, a violent wind swept away the fallen leaves and blew up a violent wind in Bianjing City. Not only has the layout of the Song Dynasty court undergone earth-shaking changes, at least the situation is no longer as clear as before.
Now everyone is a bit unclear about the future trend, so they can simply sit on the fence and watch the fire from the other side.
Cai Tiao's final blow still had no effect.
Even Cai Jing was silent. He never expected that Zhao Huan would take the risk of leaving Bianjing and rush thousands of miles to kill Gao Tuoshan.
Even though Tsai's faction members are above the court, they are still the largest party without a doubt.
However, the copper and iron walls they formed were unable to trap Zhao Huan, the ferocious dragon that stirred up the storm.
Except for Cai's party members, all the court officials looked at Zhao Huan with admiration and admiration.
The voices of Cai's party members became lower and lower, and were eventually drowned in the waves of exclamation and praise.
Zhao Ji was overjoyed by the flattery that came one after another. The eyes he looked at Zhao Huan became softer and softer, and he even praised him without hesitation in front of Cai Jing.
"The king's strategy is slightly inferior to that of the ancestors and emperors."
"The king is brave and has the legacy of Zhe Zong!"
"The king's talent and learning are greatly appreciated by my teachings."
Three "kings" and three long sighs have already shown that Zhao Huan's actions in Yizhou Prefecture have won the Holy Heart.
Of course, Zhao Ji's words have another profound meaning, which is to hint to Zhao Huan, you are my son, don't always follow me and sing the opposite.
I value you so much. After a hundred years, the country of Song Dynasty will be yours. You must learn to be a good son.
Zhao Huan naturally understood his father's good intentions and cordially greeted him in his heart, "Fuck you!"
When you need me, you are my good son. When you don't, you talk about being a traitor and an evil beast.
The scene of a loving father and a filial son can only exist in beautiful memories forever.
The moment Zhao Ji planned to execute Zhu Lian, the grudge between father and son had reached a point where it could not be resolved.
The reason why someone you love has to become a victim due to political pressure is worthless to Zhao Huan. After all, all his efforts are for his wife.
If you can't even protect the one you love, why not save Mao's country! Destroy it, destroy it quickly, we're tired!
However, with Zhao Ji's pearls in front, the officials no longer had any fear, and they started to like Zhao Huan like crazy.
"I have long expected that Gaotuoshan is nothing more than a worm in front of the prince. As soon as the king's power comes out, it will turn into powder in an instant."
"I would like to ask you, when has the Haikou that the prince boasted been fulfilled?"
"What is Haikou! Fortunately, you are still a scholar-bureaucrat. You don't know what to say without thinking through it."
"That is, if others threaten to kill Gao Tuoshan, they are naturally boasting about Haikou, but these words coming from the prince's mouth are just stating the facts."
"Who else in the world can travel thousands of miles to kill the leader of the rebel party in just ten days?"
At this moment, the doctor of the Ministry of War suddenly stepped forward and admonished: "Your Majesty, I believe that the prince has accomplished this world-famous feat, which is so majestic to the great power of the Song Dynasty. In addition to fulfilling the contract, he should also be rewarded to encourage aspiring people in the world. , protect our country and the country of the Great Song Dynasty."
"It's just that His Majesty has already given the title to the king, and there is no title for it."
All officials know where Zhao Ji's bottom line is. He can grant honorary titles at will, but don't even think about official assignments with real power!
Now that Zhao Huan is in charge of the affairs of Yizhou, Zhao Ji has reached his limit. If he wants to retain power, he will be even more unable to control Zhao Huan.
Because the doctor of the Ministry of War knows the depth and depth of things, Zhao Ji did not react at all and just listened to him continue talking.
"Since I can no longer reward the king, it is better to reward the royal wife generously."
"I believe that by canonizing Princess Ding as the wife of the country, it will be a reward and a sign of your majesty's great kindness."
Women's titles are divided into internal and external women.
The well-known titles such as "Mrs. Lady, Shuren, Shuren..." are all foreign titles, covering officials and women.
As for the noble ladies in the royal family's inner court, if they want to be rewarded, they must be granted titles by internal orders.
The lady of the country is the first class, followed by the lady of the county, the prince of the county and the prince of the county.
Zhao Ji granted Zheng Qingyun the title of county king as agreed, which was actually a title of inner destiny. It was precisely for this reason that Zhao Huan agreed so readily.
Because this is equivalent to treating Zheng Qingyun as a "quasi-royal member".
In the future, it will be natural for Zheng Qingyun to marry into the palace.
However, the county prince is the lowest level, while the country's wife is the highest level.
Although state wives are mostly given to women who have made outstanding contributions in the palace, such as concubines and the emperor's wet nurse.
But based on Zhao Huan's achievements, his wife is naturally worthy of the title of Lady of the State.
When the doctor from the Ministry of War mentioned this matter, he was actually testing Zhao Ji's tone on behalf of all the officials.
If Zhao Ji doesn't agree, forget it. If he does, the officials will climb up the pole.
Under the gaze of everyone, Zhao Ji was deep in thought, and he also understood that the officials were helping him find a way to get off the stairs to eliminate the resentment caused by almost executing Zhu Lian just now.
Zhao Ji generally doesn't value honorary titles like this very much. Now he needs to stabilize Zhao Huan and help him guard the border. Using a worthless honorary title in exchange for Zhao Huan's bloody battle is naturally a good deal.
"What do you think, dear friends?"
This is actually equivalent to an agreement, it is just a formality.
All the officials naturally took advantage of the donkeys on the slope and stepped forward one after another to give advice.
"Prince Ding is so powerful that he has promoted the prestige of the Song Dynasty. No reward can be exaggerated. It is reasonable and reasonable to re-confess Princess Ding as the wife of the country."
"I second the proposal!"
"I also second the proposal!"
Zhao Ji said cheerfully: "Since it is what everyone expects, I will naturally follow the people's will."
"Pass on my decree, and the princess will be canonized immediately as the wife of the State of Qin."
All the officials praised the emperor for his great kindness.
Zhu Lian stood there with extremely complicated emotions. Just a moment ago, she was almost tortured by Ming Zhengdian, but at this moment, she became the first-class lady of the Neiming Kingdom...
It can be said that he rushed directly from the eighteenth level of hell to the Lingxiao Palace in one go.
This huge psychological gap caused even Zhu Lian, who was usually calm and calm, to feel his heart beat faster.
Although according to the rules, she still knelt down to thank the emperor, but in her heart she was not grateful at all for the so-called emperor's kindness.
After all, it was Zhao Huan who helped her earn all this, and even if she wanted to thank her, it would be thanks to her own man.
After receiving the seal, she stood up straight, wearing a worn-out coat, but it could not hide her most noble light outside the palace, she was still so proud and majestic.
But when he looked at Zhao Huan, his eyes were extremely gentle.
