Li Ye stopped, sat on the dragon chair again and winked at the little eunuch beside him.
"Xiao Dezi!"
"We obey the order."
All the officials were shocked. The main event was coming. After the military achievements were reported, it was time to discuss merits and reward them.
The Northern Xinjiang war report is divided into three parts, one is in the hands of the emperor Li Ye, one is in the hands of the Minister of Household Affairs, and the other is stored in the archives room.
Li Ye already knew the content of the battle report. Song Yu's announcement was just for officials who didn't know the situation. The purpose was to inspire people in the court and let the officials spread the content and tell the world.
Documents can declare the majesty of the court to the people to the greatest extent.
After Song Yu finished reading, all the officials already knew about it, and they were waiting for the announcement to be made to the world after the dynasty was over.
Since Li Ye knew the content of Le Zhan's report, he naturally also drafted an imperial edict to reward people based on their merits.
Looking at the officials with bright eyes in the audience, Xiao Dezi cleared his throat and solemnly unfolded the imperial edict in the book.
"The Great Dragon Emperor Zhi said."
"Since the creation of the Three Emperors, the Five Emperors have established their moral order, and many famous ministers have been relied upon to govern the country."
"Seven kingdoms competed for supremacy, and the First Emperor established the kingdom. They were all assisted by famous ministers. Only when the emperor and ministers worked hard can they achieve a prosperous age."
"As for Dalong's founding of the country, Ruizong's dynasty, and Wuzong's rule, I will inherit them."
"Therefore, those who are loyal to the emperor, patriotic, and perform their duties faithfully will be rewarded, and those who violate superiors, cause trouble, and disrupt the government's order will be punished."
"Therefore, the rewards and punishments are clear."
"I have inherited the ambition of the two generations of emperors to spread the world. It has been the same since the beginning, and I should imitate it."
"Yun Yang, Duke of Jingguo, was a veteran of the three dynasties, a famous minister of the country, a model of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. He had outstanding military exploits and was famous throughout the world. When the late emperor was still alive, he was regarded as an important minister of the country."
"This Northern Expedition was even more glorious, with fruitful results, and countless enemies killed. Yunyang, Duke of Jingguo, was granted the title of King Zhongwu, with the fiefdoms of Mianzhou, Yuanzhou, and two prefectures, hereditary. He was rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, and silk ribbons.
Fifty boxes of silk and satin, ten pearls, and a pair of jade."
All the officials looked at Li Ye and Xiao Dezi holding the imperial edict in astonishment. Even Yunyang, who was stroking his beard, was startled when he heard the content of the reward. He looked at Li Ye in a daze and couldn't react.
Although King Zhongwu is a county king, he is also a king.
Yunyang originally thought that with his own merits, he could turn the hereditary prince into a hereditary prince and reward him with some gold, silver and jewels, but he never expected that the surprise would come too suddenly.
Yunyang, who returned home to shoot somewhere, hurriedly held up the Chao Hut and saluted.
"Old minister, I accept the order to express my gratitude. Long live your Majesty."
The officials also came to their senses from Yunyang's words and looked at Yunyang's back with envy.
Another king with a different surname was born in the Dalong Court, which can be said to be the envy of others.
When Xiao Dezi saw Yunyang thanking him, he turned his attention to the imperial edict again.
"Wan Mingliang, Duke of Wu, inherited his father's ambition to stop the enemy outside the pass. He took the lead in this battle, killed countless enemies, and made outstanding achievements. He was a model for border guards. Wan Mingliang, Duke of Wu, was granted the title of King of North Vietnam. He was granted the title of Yuezhou Prefecture, hereditary and rewarded.
A thousand taels of gold, a thousand taels of silver, fifty boxes of silk and satin, ten corals from the East China Sea, and twenty pearls."
All the officials looked at Wan Mingliang in astonishment, quite dumbfounded. Another king with a different surname was born. Your Majesty is really willing to spend money.
"Your Majesty, Wan Mingliang, accepts the decree and expresses gratitude. Long live your Majesty!"
Wan Mingliang, who had returned home, also hurriedly saluted, with a hint of surprise on his brows.
"The marshal of the troops on the right, Nangong Ye of Yong'an, is a model of loyalty to the emperor and the country, guarding the borders and defending the territory. This battle resulted in a fruitful harvest, which frightened the enemy. He was granted the title of Duke of Yong'an, hereditary, and was granted food to thousands of households. He was rewarded with a thousand taels of gold.
Fifty boxes of silk and satin, ten pearls, and two corals from the East China Sea."
"Your Majesty, Nangong Ye, accepts the order and expresses gratitude. Long live your Majesty."
"The Protector of the Country is an arrogant example. He defends the territory and the border. He fights for the country and performs great service. He is granted the title of Lord Protector. He is hereditary and will not be replaced. He is rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, fifty boxes of silk and satin, a team of jade arms, and a box of jewels."
"I have received the order to express my gratitude to you Zhang Kuang. Long live your Majesty."
"Gan Liang Bo Dongfang Ming, a famous general who defends the border, has high morals and high prestige, and has made meritorious service in defending the territory. He is granted the title of Gan Lianghou and is hereditary. He is rewarded with twenty thousand taels of silver, thirty boxes of silk and satin, two coral trees from the East China Sea, and a pair of jade."
"General Yunchong of the Huben Guard, a model of famous generals and a model of virtue. In this battle, he defended Yunzhou, fought bravely to kill the enemy, and blocked the enemy from the border. He was specially promoted to the general of Wu Xun to assist the country, and was awarded the title of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War.
Ten thousand taels of silver, thirty pieces of silk, and a box of jewels."
"Chen Yunchong accepted the order to thank you!"
With Yunyang's father, King Zhongwu, in front of him, Yun Chong's rewards are not worth mentioning compared to others, and they are just false duties. However, after Yunyang's death, Yun Chong will accept the title of Lord Zhongwu, so naturally there will be nothing
Dissatisfaction is a common practice in the court.
If father and son are both knighted, there will inevitably be a turmoil in the future regarding the heir.
"General Hu Xiangwei, Marquis Zhongwu, Lu Chengjie, conferred the title of Duke Zhongyong"
"Song Qing, the deputy commander of the army in the middle route, was promoted to Duke An Yuan, promoted to general of the auxiliary state, and specially promoted to the commander of the imperial guards. His father, Song Yu, the minister of the Ministry of War, was promoted to half a rank and awarded the official Guanglu doctor, and received the salary of the auxiliary minister."
"Your Majesty Song Yu."
"Your Majesty, Song Qing, accepts the decree and expresses gratitude. Long live your Majesty."
"General Cheng Kaijue of the Trapped Warriors was promoted to one level"
"General of the Hundred-War Army"
"Du Yujue was promoted to one level and granted the title of Viscount Tianwei"
"Appreciate this!"
"I accept the order and thank you for your kindness."
"Long live your Majesty."
Xiao Dezi put away the imperial edict and picked up another volume of imperial edict from the dragon table.
"The Emperor Dalong said."
"Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. The prosperity of a country depends on the generous people who go to justice and the benevolent and righteous people who sacrifice their lives for the country. This is the great dragon blessed by God, and the heroic souls of the soldiers in heaven bless the great dragon."
"The posthumous title of Grand General Duan Buhan of the Buddha Army was named Ding'an Bo, and led him as General Yunhui. His meritorious deeds are inherited by his eldest son, and he is hereditary as Viscount Ding'an."
"Chasing the title of Lu Chang'an, the pioneer general of the Pagoda Guard"
"Chasing the posthumous title of Longwuwei Pioneer General Wang Tao"
""
"The matter of granting the title will be reviewed by the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Ministry of Personnel."
"Appreciate this!"
"Your Majesty is wise and loyal and brave men have souls in heaven. They will definitely be grateful to Your Majesty and promise to repay heaven's kindness in the next life."
"You nobles are exempt from courtesy. Many soldiers fought for the country and died generously. How can I be disrespectful to you? Take your seats!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
When Xiao Dezi saw that all the officials were at peace, he picked up a volume of imperial edict from the dragon case and slowly unfolded it.
"The Emperor Dalong issued an edict."
"I mistakenly believed in the demon queen and abused treacherous ministers, which resulted in the decline of government affairs and the darkness of the court. God bless me, and I have been ordered to reflect on myself in time. Together with the king's wife, Yu Qinglian, the fifth-rank imperial concubine, I should take the first credit."
"Female Yu Qinglian of the Liu family as the fourth-grade imperial concubine, wearing a Luan robe, and the title of Lord of Chun'an County, with a household of 100 households, and a reward of 500 taels of gold and ten Luan robes."
"Liu's Qinglian is a virtuous and virtuous woman. This is the eldest wife. Princess Liu's Qiyun has led well. She has been granted the title of first-class protector of the country. Lady Liu's Qiyun is the princess of Yingzhou. She has been rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, ten phoenix robes, and everything.
The expenses will be borne by the Internal Affairs Bureau and the clan government."
"Appreciate this!"
Liu Mingzhi, who had been nodding and lowering his eyebrows, suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a look of surprise.
After coming back to his senses, he held up the wat and began to salute.
"Your Majesty, Liu Mingzhi, accepts the order to thank you on behalf of the two humble concubines. Long live your Majesty!"
Li Ye looked at Liu Mingzhi with a faint smile: "There is no need to be too polite as King Bingjian. This is the reward that your two virtuous assistants deserve. Those who have made merit must be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes must be punished. This is my duty to imitate Ruizong and Wu Zong."
"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."
"Take a seat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Liu Mingzhi took his seat, the atmosphere in the palace suddenly became strange. The officials glanced at Young Master Liu strangely, then at Li Ye, and chose to remain silent.
Li Ye looked like this, as if he hadn't just heard the content of Song Yu's memorial about the King holding the Golden Dragon Emperor's order and mobilizing 400,000 troops and horses from the Western Region without authorization.
Since His Majesty kept silent about this matter, why did he and others add fuel to the fire and offend King Bingjian for no reason.
The censor doctor Xia Gongming's dim eyes flashed with light, and the corner of his mouth smiled slightly. Hearing about the incident, the old guy who had the right to give advice in time actually chose to remain silent at this moment.
"The Great Dragon Emperor issued an edict!"
"The Demon Queen is causing harm to the country, and I am very relieved that all the ministers and ministers are loyal and admonishing her."
"Awarded to Right Minister Guanglu"
"Doctor Yinqing Guanglu, the imperial censor"
""
"I accept the order and thank you for your kindness. Long live your Majesty!"
Half of the courtiers looked at Li Zheng excitedly. They didn't expect that they would also receive a reward, and they hurriedly began to thank him!
Li Ye stretched out his hand to signal the courtiers to be quiet.
"Be listed as a minister!"
"I'm waiting here!"
"A few days ago, my concubine Shu's grandmother wrote to me. My eleventh emperor uncle Li Ting has reached adulthood. She hopes that I can replace my father and be kind and bestow favors. I can grant the eleventh emperor uncle Li Ting the title of king and open the palace.
Grant."
"I have thought about it for a long time. The eleventh emperor's uncle Li Ting is the son of the emperor's grandfather Ruizong and the younger brother of the late emperor. As a junior, how can I not be given the honor?"
"When the time comes, it will be spread out, saying that I ignored the ancestral rituals and was disobedient and unfilial. Wouldn't it be unfair to me? What do you think?"
"Your Majesty is wise, since the eleventh son of Ruizong has grown up, he should be rewarded."
"It is a matter of great righteousness to be listed as a minister."
"I have weighed the odds and found that the Eleventh Emperor's uncle and I are almost the same age. We have been studying together in the Imperial College since childhood and have a deep relationship. In order to prevent our uncle and nephew from being separated from each other for a long time, I plan to designate the Eleventh Emperor's uncle as Mingwang.
The fiefdom is Mingzhou Prefecture, which is not far from the capital. All matters are the same as those of Prince Qing, Prince Yun, and Prince Jing."
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"
"My lords, do you still have any other manuscripts that you would like to submit?"
"I have no intention of reporting."
"Okay, the six ministries, nine ministers, five supervisors and three sects are listed as ministers. I wish you a happy new year in advance."
"Retreat!"
"I respectfully bid farewell to Your Majesty, long live long live!"
Li Ye got up and walked towards the back of the palace at full speed, and all the officials also started to get up and retreat.
Liu Mingzhi stretched his stiff legs and walked out of the hall with a strange look on his face.
"I am determined to stay with the king and accompany this minister out of the palace."
When Liu Mingzhi heard Song Qing's words, he stopped, responded to the officials who saluted him, and walked up to Song Yu.
"Shang Shu, do you have any advice?"
Song Yu glanced around and walked towards a place with fewer officials, and Liu Mingzhi naturally followed.
"Uncle, do you have anything to tell me?"
"His Majesty issued a large number of rewards, and all the officials were surprised. His Majesty did not mention your mobilization of troops without authorization. He was obviously deliberately trying to excuse you. He did not want to go into the matter further, and he also awarded two of your wives. What's wrong with me?
You look very worried?"
Liu Mingzhi glanced around the scenery in the palace with a look of sadness, then came to Song Yu's side and put his arm around Song Yu's shoulders as he walked forward slowly.
He didn't want to hide anything from his uncle who treated him like his own father.
"My good uncle, my Minister of War in the Song Dynasty, are you really confused, or are you pretending to be confused?"
"What do you mean, kid? I am kind-hearted and happy for you. Why do you speak so sinisterly?"
"Haha, my good uncle, are you still in charge of the Ministry of War's living map?"
"Mianzhou, Yuanzhou, Yuezhou, Mingzhou, don't you know where it is?"
"Aren't these four mansions"
Song Yu was stunned as he spoke.
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and patted Song Yu's shoulder.
"Mianzhou and Yuanzhou are in the southeast of Northern Xinjiang, Yuezhou is in the southwest of Northern Xinjiang, and Mingzhou is in the south of Northern Xinjiang."
"One kiss, two counties."
"Why do you think the child is so happy?"
"Your Majesty is no longer the young boy he used to be!"
"You've grown up!"
"well"
"The policies for governing the country and the documents for governing the country, I don't know whether to feel happy or sad!"
