The motorcade drove forward for a long time and finally arrived at the King Conferring Platform.
The King's Terrace is surrounded by fences on all sides, and there are four altars on which offerings to heaven are placed. The King's Terrace is located in the center, with a throne placed on a stone platform more than three feet high, facing the south.<
/p>
Zhang Yangquan and Qin Lingjun held hands and climbed onto the throne table. After entering the crown and seal ribbon, they sat on the throne, and all the ministers lined up in order.
The master of ceremonies read out the inscription of worship to heaven, and then all the ministers congratulated the new king together.
At the end of the worship service, the official holding the canonization document strode out of the procession and began to read aloud the golden book of the imperial edict.
Geng San's heart was pounding, and he couldn't help but silently count the great and small contributions he had made in the Battle of Yangzhou.
The most important one was naturally the one where he and Qin Lingsi worked together to kill Brother Wang Meng. However, Qin Lingsi was captured by the enemy in front of him later, and I wonder if it would be considered a fault.
In addition, when Jia Lu attacked the city, he commanded the Shenji Battalion to block the siege army on the city wall. Although the main credit for this battle was Fangyuan, he should also be able to share a small contribution.
When Fang Yuan and Li Er's 10,000 naval divisions went to Gaoyou Lake to fight, the gunners were all transferred from his Shenji Battalion, and he should share some of the credit for their achievements.
After all this calculation, he felt that he still had a lot of hope in getting the reward this time.
While I was thinking about it, I heard that the clerk had finished reading the preface and began to formally read out the canonization.
"Confess Guo Niansheng as a third-grade gold and purple light official, and lead the left prime minister. Confer Lu Liangzuo as a third-grade silver and green green light official, and lead the right prime minister."
Geng San was shocked and said to himself: "Sure enough, the levels have begun to be divided! The left and right prime ministers only have three levels, I guess I can only get a fourth or fifth level!"
"Chen Ji was granted the rank of Yinqing Guanglu, a senior official of the third rank, and a new Honglu Temple was established. Chen Ji led the minister of Honglu Temple and Pingzhang political affairs. Liu Ji was granted the title of Zhengyi doctor of the fourth rank, and a new Yushitai was established.
He is responsible for the imperial censorship and political affairs."
"Ma Yulin was made the fourth-rank Zhengyi doctor, and a new Dali Temple was established. Ma Yulin took charge of the minister of Dali Temple and Pingzhang political affairs. He Jue was made the fourth-rank Zhengyi doctor, and a new Imperial College was established. He Jue took the Imperial Palace to offer wine.
Also in charge of Pingzhang political affairs."
"Hu Guangcao was granted the rank of third-rank Yinqing Guanglu doctor, and he led the left supervisor of the Ordnance Bureau. Jia Ban was granted the rank of third-rank Yinqing Guanglu doctor, and he led the right supervisor of the Ordnance Bureau."
When all the officials heard this, they were all secretly surprised. There were actually two third-rank subordinates in an Ordnance Bureau, which shows the status of the Ordnance Bureau in Zhang Yangquan's heart!
"Wang Meng was granted the title of Taizhong doctor of the fourth rank, and he was the supervisor of the Department of Shipping. He made Yuan Shi the Taizhong doctor of the fourth rank, and he was the supervisor of the agricultural bureau."
Sun Hong felt a chill in his heart when he heard that the two men were in front of him, and that neither of them held Pingzhang political affairs.
"Change Jiangdu into a government office, establish it as the capital of the country, and change the general administration office into Zhongshu Province. Sun Hong is granted the title of Taizhong Dafu of the fourth rank, leading the governor of Jiangdu. Luo Guanzhong is granted the title of senior official of the fifth rank, Zhongsan, and the Shaoyin of Jiangdu Prefecture.
Confess Guo Huan as a fifth-rank Zhongsan doctor and lead the Shaoyin of Jiangdu Prefecture."
Geng San didn't listen much to the appointment of low-level civil servants. His heart beat faster and faster, and his palms began to sweat, because it was soon his turn to appoint military generals.
Half an hour later, the clerk said: "The above are appointments for civil servants of eighth grade and above, and the following are appointments for military attachés..."
"Confess Xu Baisheng as the third-rank champion general, leading the marshal of the left wing. Confer Shanzhu as the third-rank Huaihua general, leading the right wing marshal."
"Feng Fangyuan was granted the title of General Huaihua of the third rank, leading the deputy commander-in-chief of the left wing. Feng Li Er was granted the title of General Yunhui of the fourth rank, leading the deputy commander-in-chief of the right wing."
In the blink of an eye, the marshal and deputy marshal were sealed. Although Geng San guessed that he would not be involved, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Now that my hope was shattered, I couldn't help but sigh secretly.
"Female Geng Si as General Yunhui of the Fourth Rank, leading the Army Intelligence Agency. Confer Zhao Desheng as General Gui De of the Fourth Rank, leading the Left Wing General."
Geng San couldn't help but feel happy for him when he heard that his brother was of the fourth rank.
"The king was granted the title of General Zhongwu of the fifth rank, leading the right wing. The Hou Baisi was made General Zhongwu of the fifth rank, the general of the city defense. Geng San was granted the title of General Zhongwu of the fifth rank, and the general of the Shenji Camp."
Geng San's heart skipped a beat. In fact, his requirements were not very high. If he could be the same as Wang Da and Monkey, he would be able to accept it.
"Female Sun Hu as General Ningyuan from the fifth rank, and lead the deputy general on the left wing. Confer Yu Yanyu as General Ningyuan from the fifth rank, and lead the deputy general on the right wing."
"Female Liang Rong as the sixth-rank Zhaowu Colonel, leading the deputy general on the left wing. Conferred Fu Youde as the sixth-grade Zhaowu Colonel, leading the right-wing deputy general."
"Feng Chang Yuchun was granted the title of Captain of the Sixth Rank Zhenwei, leading the governor of the left wing. Bian Yuanheng was granted the title of Colonel of the Sixth Rank Zhenwei, leading the governor of the right wing. Feng Qianluzi was granted the title of Colonel of the Sixth Rank Zhenwei, leading the governor of the left wing.
Fu. Confessed Yu Tonghai as the sixth grade Zhenwei Xiaowei, leading the right wing to suppress Fu."
……
Soon after, all generals above the eighth rank were conferred.
It was approaching noon, and everyone formed a team again, surrounding Zhang Yangquan and Qin Lingjun back to the city to go to Zhongshu Province to accept the congratulations of various envoys.
Geng San followed the team on horseback, and suddenly found Wang Da in front of him looking up at the sky, lost in thought, looking melancholy.
"Hey, Wang Da, what are you thinking about? Today is a big day, why do you look like your wife has run away with someone?" Geng San rushed up.
Wang Da glanced at him and said in a low voice: "Geng San, let me ask you, who are the Four Great Vajras in Jiangdu?"
Geng San couldn't help but laugh: "Isn't that you?"
"I'm asking about the other three people!" Wang Da opened his eyes wide.
"Mountain Boar, Li Er, Xu Baisheng!"
Wang Da gritted his teeth and said: "Both Shanzhu and Xu Baisheng have become third-rank marshals, Li Er is also a fourth-rank deputy marshal, and I am the only one who has become a fifth-rank general. Do you think the world will remove me from the Four Vajras and change it to the third rank?"
King Kong?"
Geng San smiled and said: "I really can't see that you, who have always been so heartless, care so much about this title!"
Wang Da glared at him and said: "I'm the weird one! You are in the fifth grade like me, and Fu Youde has almost caught up with you. How can you still laugh?"
Geng San smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if I am the fifth grade, as long as my brother is the fourth grade!"

Wang Da snorted and said: "You are an elder brother, do you always want to rely on your brother?"
Geng San said angrily: "This guy can't spit out ivory from his dog's mouth. I'm just happy for my brother, isn't that okay?"
Wang Da snorted: "There is no future. When people see Geng Si in the future, they will definitely say, 'Oh, it must be difficult for you to have such a useless brother'!"
Geng San said angrily: "Wang Da, I'm warning you, don't take your anger out on me!"
Wang Da snorted: "Who said I was letting out anger? I just ask you, we are both old people in Longtan Village, but now we are getting worse and worse. Are you willing to do it?"
Geng San was silent for a long time and said in a low voice: "So what if you don't give in? We are not good at leading troops in war. It is not easy to be a fifth-grade general!"
Wang Da raised his head and said: "I don't believe anyone is born to fight! We just lack the opportunity to hone ourselves. We should take the initiative to fight for it in order to become a famous general!"
Geng San was stunned and said: "How to fight for it?"
Wang DaDao: "During the meeting a while ago, didn't we come up with a plan to attack Zhenjiang? Manager, ah no, the king was very moved at the time. Isn't this an opportunity to make meritorious deeds!"
Geng San said with a grimace: "But during our previous discussions, we couldn't come up with a battle plan. We simply can't do this kind of thing!"
Wang Da was silent for a while and said: "It may not be possible to rely on the two of us. We have to get a helper!"
"Who?"
Wang Da looked at the monkey in front of him who was talking to Qin Lingsi, and hummed: "Isn't the monkey just like us, also in the fifth grade? I don't believe he can hold back this breath!"
Geng San glanced at the monkey and saw that he was smiling and making Qin Lingsi happy. He hesitated and said: "I see his virtue, he seems to be very accommodating!"
Wang Da stared and said: "That's just an illusion! When he gets home, he will definitely huddle in his wife's arms and cry!"
Geng San imagined that situation, smiled, and said: "Don't say it, it's really possible!"
Wang Da grinned and said: "We will go find him tonight. We must recruit him to help us come up with a battle plan. As long as the king is satisfied, the three of us can lead an army alone. Are you afraid that we will not have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds?" Geng San's eyes flashed brightly and he said: "That's it!"
After the brigade returned to Zhongshu Province, Zhang Yangquan came to the hall with all the civil and military officials to accept the congratulations from the envoys.
Geng San had been thinking about how to attract monkeys to join the gang, so he didn't pay much attention to these envoys.
Not long after, after the congratulations were completed, the officials followed Zhang Yangquan and his wife into the Oriole Garden.
At this time, Oriole Garden had been changed into the Palace of the Prince of Chu, and Zhang Yangquan held a banquet at the Palace. Civil and military officials and envoys from various families attended the banquet.
Everyone first toasted to Zhang Yangquan and Qin Lingjun, and then started the banquet. After Zhang Yangquan and Qin Lingjun drank a few glasses of wine, they left the banquet and went to the back house.
When Wang Da saw the monkey standing up, he gave a few apologetic smiles to the people around him, and then left the palace hall. He quickly grabbed Geng San and chased him out.
As soon as the two chased them out of the door, they saw the monkey running towards their house. It was already Xu hour and it was pitch dark outside.
"Damn it, why is this kid so anxious to go home?" Wang Da said stunned.
Geng San smiled and said: "Of course he went to his wife to cry and complain!"
The two of them laughed together and chased after each other.
